Yeshua is the original Hebrew proper name for Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus is a mis-transliteration of the Greek mis-transliteration, Yeysu. It is more correct to call Him Yeshua, since only in the Hebrew does His name have any meaning. In Hebrew Yeshua means both "Salvation," and the concatenated form of Yahoshua, the "LORD who is Salvation." The name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English, except as it is known as His name. It is also therefore incorrect to refute usage of the name "Jesus", since this name commonly identifies the Messiah to all English speaking people.
Messianic Jews believe Yeshua to be the Messiah of Israel and God in the flesh, who will come again to deliver Israel from their persecutors.
