Good question, Terry. I've thought about it often. There appears to be an eternal expectation on the part of God to "save," as this name means "Yah- saves" -- if we take Hebrews 13:8 to be speaking in reference to an eternal Jesus Christ, the eternal -?- of God: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

If somebody were to believe that Yeshua did not exist at all until he was
born in the flesh, this passage could still be understood to suggest a love
that the father had for his yet non-existant son, much like a mother like
Hannah who desired a son and loved him before he was born.

Since this thread refuses to die, let me throw a wrench into the gears in an attempt to end it's life.
Question: Was Yeshua always Yeshua, or was He called by another name prior to being born the God man?  Did that name originate with His birth as the angel instructed, or had it always been?
