Riddle no Judaeo-Christian will be able to answer
Isaiah 44:5, New Living Translation:
Some will proudly claim, ‘I belong to the LORD.’
Others will say, ‘I am a descendant of Jacob.’
Some will write the LORD’s name on their hands and will take the name of Israel as their own.” |
[called Christians today]
[called Jews today]
[what are these called?] |
What are those who will take the name of Israel as their own called today?
A hint is in Revelation 3:12, New Living Translation:
All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God — the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name. |
What is Jesus' "new name" (Revelation 3:12), and why is he also called "Israel" (Isaiah 44:5)?
Wasn't his full name either Yeshua HaNotzri [יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי], Iesous ho Nazoraios (Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος), or Jesus the Nazorean?
