THE PATTERN
A name compresses the nature or movement of a life and place into a word.
And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.THE THREAD
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.Jeshua carries the same name as Yeshua, the Hebrew name rendered Jesus. Matthew ties that name to delivering his people, opening the first place-name here as more than a location label.
