Titles of The Messiah

The Meaning of "Christ"

Cristo/ß Christos, khris-tos´; from 5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: — Christ.
From Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Number 5547.

    The Messiah of the Israel was prophesied long ago under The Old Covenant, or testament. There are numerous titles that were given for Him. Over the course of history there’s been a tendency to use His titles as names for Him. But this practice is not correct. He has a personal name. Properly, it is not Jesus. It is YAHUSHUA. (See The Personal Name of The Messiah)
    This distinction, between His titles and His name, is very important for a proper understanding of Scripture. Without making such a distinction confusion takes over. What is stated at one point does not always connect easily and clearly with another point. It seems important therefore to present at least the main titles so you can discover more of the truth concerning The Messiah, YAHUSHUA.
    Our particular focus will be on to the New Covenant (testament) since that’s where much of the focus regarding the personal name of The Messiah becomes an issue. Under the Old Covenant the titles used were often a bit more obscure, only alluding to Him and not directly identifying His name. The important ones tend to be carried over into the New Covenant so we can identify Him as He is presented to the world as YAHUSHUA of Nazareth.
    The titles are presented in alphabetical order for the sake of convenience. That way if you know a title all you have to do is follow the alphabetical listing to locate the information on that title. 

Alpha and Omega 

    This title is not used until the very last book of the New Testament. There it takes on a very strong significance. Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. Omega is the last letter in that alphabet. Thus, this title represents the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Those concepts pervade Scripture. YAHWEH is also identified as the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
    The Book of Revelation is the revealing, the unveiling or disclosure, of YAHUSHUA (Jesus) The Messiah. The first two references are clearly to YAHUSHUA, and it is Him who is speaking to John.

Rev. 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says The Sovereign (the Lord), “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty (el shaddai).”

Rev. 1:11 saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

    In the third reference this is not as clear. It’s not printed in red letters as if it were the words of YAHUSHUA, but rather is in standard type, as if it is the words of YAHWEH, who sits on the throne. The reason for any confusion here is twofold.
    First, the New Testament is translated from Greek, which uses terms for YAHWEH that are not clearly delineated like they are in Hebrew. Theos is used for “God” in every place. Kurios is used for Lord, etc. in every place. Second, there are theological manipulations of the text that have occurred at certain points, leaving it difficult to sort out the truth. Certain portions of the translations have been “shaped” to fit the theology of the translators - the traditions of men.
    In this verse, as is virtually always the case, we must look at the context to determine what’s intended. In this case the context is identified in Rev. 20.11 where reference is made to the great white throne and Him who sat on it. It’s believed that this is YAHWEH, who is identified as being the judge of the whole earth.

Rev. 21:5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” (6)

And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. (7) He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

    The final reference is in Rev. 22.13. There the context indicates it is YAHUSHUA who is speaking, as identified in verse 16.

Rev. 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

    While this may seem confusing to you I’d ask that you please keep in mind the “unity” of YAHWEH and His Son YAHUSHUA. It’s long been understood that the Hebrew word elohim found in Genesis 1.1 is a plural term that implies a unified existence between YAHWEH, YAHUSHUA, and the ruach ha qodesh, The Holy Spirit. YAHUSHUA Himself taught that He and the Father are one, a unity.

John 10:30 I and My Father are one.”

John 14:11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

    There is a mystery here for us. Yet it is no mystery to YAHWEH. He knows all things. One day He will reveal all things to those who trust in Him. One day we shall understand this completely.
    Here are the definitions from Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance:

1. A a, al´-fah; of Hebrew origin; the first letter of the alphabet; figuratively, only (from its use as a numeral) the first: — Alpha. Often used (usually  a‡n an, before a vowel) also in composition (as a contraction from 427) in the sense of privation; so, in many words, beginning with this letter; occasionally in the sense of union (as a contraction of 260). 

5598. W O, i.e. w‡mega omega, o´-meg-ah; the last letter of the Greek alphabet, i.e. (figuratively) the finality: — Omega. 

Aleph-Tau

    There is a very similar concept in the Old Testament. It involves the Hebrew letters aleph and tau. These are also the first and last letters of the Hebrew “aleph-bet” (aleph and bet being the first two letters of their language). If you do a search for these two letters in combination with each other in the Old Testament, you will discover they appear on virtually every page.
    However, the identification of these letters, when combined and standing on their own, is somewhat obscure. Most Hebrew grammar texts will tell you these two letters represent a “coming direct object” of some verb. Interestingly, you’d have a very difficult time proving this when you look at many of the verses that contain this construct. I believe there’s a deeper meaning that YAHWEH has concealed within His Word, and I’ll get to that in a moment.
    First, let’s consider the beginning, and the end, the first, and the last. Genesis 1.1 opens by saying, “In the beginning Elohim…” Elohim, a plural unity of some kind, is indeed found at the very beginning.
    Next, consider the end of the Old Testament, Malachi 4. There we find discussion of “the great and dreadful day of YAHWEH”, which certainly points to the last days, the end. YAHWEH, or perhaps more correctly Elohim (the unity of the “godhead”) is found at the beginning and the end of all things.
    Below I’ve listed the Strong’s Numbers for terms that involve this combination of letters. Only the last one on the list adds a letter, h, which is also a symbol of breath, or life, yet it has variations that involve only these two letters. It’s at least instructive to review the meanings of these terms. Only the vowel pointings are slightly different.

852. tDa }ath, awth; (Aramaic) corresponding to 226; a portent: —sign
853. tEa }eth, ayth; apparent contracted from 226 in the demonstrative sense of entity; properly, self (but generally used to point out more definitely the object of a verb or preposition, even or namely): —(as such unrepresented in English). 
854. tEa }eth, ayth; probably from 579; properly, nearness (used only as a preposition or an adverb), near; hence, generally, with, by, at, among, etc.: —against, among, before, by, for, from, in(-to), (out) of, with. Often with another prepositional prefix. 
855. tEa }eth, ayth; of uncertain derivation; a hoe or other digging implement: —coulter, plowshare. 
859. h;DtAa }attah, at-taw´; or (shortened); ;DtAa }atta, at-taw´; or tAa }ath, ath; feminine (irregular)
ometimes
y;ItAa }attiy, at-tee´; plural masculine M;RtAa }attem, at-tem´; feminine N;RtAa }atten, at-ten´; or  hÎn;EtAa }attenah, at-tay´naw; or  h…În;EtAa }attennah, at-tane´-naw; a primitive pronoun of the second person; thou and thee, or (plural) ye and you: —thee, thou, ye, you.

    Look at the first number, 852.  This one is identified as Aramaic, meaning a portent (omen, sign, indicator). It foretells something or represents something. What might be the “sign” to which this points? Perhaps The Messiah?
    Strong’s Number 853 is used often in the text as some vague connective term between a verb and its direct object. What someone wants you to believe is that this somehow adds significance to the direct object. It’s difficult to see how this really works, or why it’s even needed. In most cases that’s not that hard to figure out from the sentence even if this term was not inserted.
    Number 845 suggests “nearness”. Who, or what, is more near to you the life itself? YAHWEH? YAHUSHUA? The Holy Spirit? The Beginning and The End?
    Number 855 seems the least likely to connect to YAHWEH in a direct sense. It seems more to do with farming, with “husbandry”. Hmm, interesting term. Is that one connected to YAHWEH at all? Of course it is. He was the “husband” of Israel. He plainly declares this.
    Finally, Number 859 takes on several forms, depending on the context. ultimately it’s connected to the second person. Notice the Old English terms, Thou, Thee, Ye, You. How often do you find these terms used of YAHWEH?
    It’s my personal “opinion” (please note that I have no way to prove this) that the two letter combination of aleph-tau is a constant reminder in the text of YAHWEH, the Beginning and the End.
    I also believe it is a means of identifying The Messiah, who is also the Beginning and the End, within all of the Old Testament revelation – from beginning to end. It’s a wonderful way to encode The Messiah in the text without making a direct revelation to the whole world of what YAHWEH has intended from the very beginning; no, even before the very beginning. 

Christ

    The title, Christ, is a corruption of the Hebrew term for The Messiah. In Hebrew the term mashiyach specifically means The Messiah. Strong’s definitions for both Messiah and Christ are given below. It’s curious, however, that this word was not transliterated into the Greek in the same manner as other Hebrew words were treated.
    The same, or very similar, appearing and sounding letters occur in Greek. Webster’s New World Dictionary gives this transliteration as Messias for both Latin and Greek. If it’s this easy to make the transition, one must ask why an entirely different term was substituted for it. As usual, there is a history associated with this, and that history once again depends on “the traditions of men” for its existence. It is yet another perversion of the Word of YAHWEH.
    How easy it would have been to use Messias in the text. How clearly this would have identified The Messiah to the reader. Instead we have confusion and obscurity, the work of the devil. While it may mean one who is anointed, why change the language to pervert it from a much easier, and more natural, transition.
    To demonstrate how easy this would have been, and that there was no need to “invent” a new term, all we need to do is look at two verses from the King James Bible. In these two verses they got it right. But notice the move to immediately pervert it.
    We must ask why this was done? There appears to be no reason other than to confuse the reader of the text, and avoid dealing with the reality that YAHUSHUA is The Messiah. One can easily see the hand of the of the priests, the scribes, and the Pharisees involved in this one. They did not want YAHUSHUA identified and known as their Messiah. They rejected Him as such, and murdered Him to maintain their “traditions”. 

John 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
John 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that
Messias
cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 

Here’s the Greek word:

3323. Messi÷aß Messias, mes-see´-as; of Hebrew origin (H4899); the Messias (i.e. Mashiach), or Christ: — Messias. 

4899. AjˆyvDm mashiyach, maw-shee´-akh; from 4886; anointed; usually a consecrated person (as a king, priest, or saint); specifically, the Messiah:—anointed, Messiah.

4886. jÅvDm mashach, maw-shakh´; a primitive root; to rub with oil, i.e. to anoint; by implication, to consecrate; also to paint:—anoint, paint. 

5547. Cristo/ß Christos, khris-tos´; from 5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: — Christ.

5548. cri÷w chrio, khree´-o; probably akin to 5530 through the idea of contact; to smear or rub with oil, i.e. (by implication) to consecrate to an office or religious service: — anoint.
5530. cra¿omai chraomai, khrah´-om-ahee; middle voice of a primary verb (perhaps rather from 5495, to handle); to furnish what is needed; (give an oracle, “graze” (touch slightly), light upon, etc.), i.e. (by implication) to employ or (by extension) to act towards one in a given manner: — entreat, use. Compare 5531; 5534. 

Christ the Lord

    Christ the Lord appears only once, in Luke 2.11. It is a title, not a name. It should read, “The Messiah, The Sovereign”. See “Christ” above for that aspect of this. The second part should refer to Him as “adonay”, which is typically translates as “Lord”, but actually means sovereign. The Greek did not allow for the use of adonay, so kurios was substituted, giving us “Lord”. It’s a mis-translation.

Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is The Messiah, The Sovereign (Christ the Lord) 

    The second time this appears in the KJV you’ll note that the Lord is inserted into the text. The italics indicates this is an addition, inserted by the translators “for clarity”. If you look at the text without it, and as it should have been translated, there’s no need for any further clarification.

James 2:1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Sovereign, YAHSHUAH, The Messiah (Christ the Lord), of glory, with partiality. 

5547. Cristo/ß Christos, khris-tos´; from 5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: — Christ.

2962. ku/rioß kurios, koo´-ree-os; from kuvroß kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Master (as a respectful title): — God, Lord, master, Sir.

Note: the Greek, kurios, is equivalent to the Hebrew, adonay. 

Christ of God

    This title appears only once. It should be translated as I have given it below. This would make the text abundantly easier to understand. Peter knew YAHUSHUA as the promised Messiah – the one YAHWEH had promised. Peter knew the personal name of God, so when speaking to YAHUSHUA there was no need to disguise it. 

Luke 9:20 He said unto them, But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said, The Messiah of YAHWEH (The Christ of God).

Christ Jesus, Christ Jesus The Lord

    Should read, The Messiah, YAHUSHUA, plus, The Sovereign for the second term. 

Immanuel

    This title appears only three times in the KJV, with a certain qualification. the third time it is translated as Emmanuel. That may surprise you, since it’s used as frequently as it is in our references to The Messiah. However, when you do a word search you will only find it in two places in the Old Testament and one in the New Testament. It represents the concept of YAHWEH being present with us. He is here, now. 

Is. 7:14 Therefore The Sovereign (adon), He Himself, shall give you a sign (owth – same as banner); Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel. 

Is. 8:8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel. 

6005. lEa…wn;DmIo {Immanuw}el, im-maw-noo-ale´; from 5973 and 410 with a pronominal suffix inserted; with us (is) God; Immanuel, a type name of Isaiah’s son: —Immanuel. 

5973. MIo {im, eem; from 6004; adverb or preposition, with (i.e. in conjunction with), in varied applications; specifically, equally with; often with prepositional prefix (and then usually unrepresented in English): —accompanying, against, and, as (x long as), before, beside, by (reason of), for all, from (among, between), in, like, more than, of, (un-)to, with(-al). 
410. lEa }el, ale; shortened from 352; strength; as adjective, mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity): —God (god), x goodly, x great, idol, might(-y one), power, strong. Compare names in “-el.” 
Matt. 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
1694. ∆Emmanouh/l Emmanouel, em-man-oo-ale´; of Hebrew origin (H6005); God with us; Emmanuel, a name of Christ: — Emmanuel. 

Jesus Christ

     This is not the proper, or a proper name of The Messiah. The letter “J” does not exist in Hebrew, or in Greek. This is an  improper translation of the language. Jesus would be viewed as a name, but Christ is a title as we have identified above. thus, The Messiah’s name is not Jesus Christ. His proper personal name is YAHUSHUA. (See The Personal Name of The Messiah, or Letter “J” for more details on this issue.)
    This two-word term, used by many as a “name” for The Messiah, involves a corruption of both words, as I’ve identified above. It’s a very serious error that needs to be corrected for those who consider themselves to be “followers of The Messiah”.
    YAHUSHUA means, literally, YAHWEH is salvation or preservation. The very name proclaims the essence of His existence; His purpose in coming into the world. He came to “save” us from the consequences of our Sin (rebellion against YAHWEH). To alter His name is to pervert the idea of His essential nature. He is  the one who redeems us from our Sin. He is the one who paid the debt we owe to YAHWEH for rejecting His Word and His authority over our lives as beings He has created and loved. To understand this better it’s necessary to recognize the significance of a name within the Hebrew culture. Few understand this vitally important concept.
    Below are the definitions from Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance for these words:

2424. ∆Ihsouvß Iesous, ee-ay-sooce´; of Hebrew origin (H3091); Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: — Jesus. 

3091. Ao…wvwøh◊y Yhowshuwa{, yeh-ho-shoo´-ah; or Ao¨vwøh◊y Yhowshua, yeh-ho-shoo´-ah; from 3068 and 3467; Yhwh-saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua), the Jewish leader: —Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare 1954, 3442. 
Note: Originally pronounced yah-hu-shoo'-ah. The first three letters represent YAHU, a variation of YAHWEH, which has the very same first three letters.
3068. hDwøh◊y Yhwh; from 1961; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; name of God: —the Lord. Compare 3050, 3069. 
3467. oÅvÎy yasha{, yaw-shah´; a primitive root; properly, to be open, wide or free, i.e. (by implication) to be safe; causatively, to free or succor: —x at all, avenging, defend, deliver(-er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, save(-iour), get victory.

3442. Ao…w´vy Yeshuwa{, yay-shoo´-ah; for 3091; he will save; Jeshua, the name of ten Israelites, also of a place in Palestine: —Jeshua.
3443. Ao…w´vy Yeshuwa{, yay-shoo´-ah; (Aramaic) corresponding to 3442: —Jeshua.
3444. hDo…wv◊y yshuw{ah, yesh-oo´-aw; feminine passive participle of 3467; something saved, i.e. (abstractly) deliverance; hence, aid, victory, prosperity: —deliverance, health, help(-ing), salvation, save, saving (health), welfare. 

5547. Cristo/ß Christos, khris-tos´; from 5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: — Christ. 

Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews

Should read, YAHUSHUA of Nazareth, Sovereign of the Jews. 

John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, YAHUSHUA (JESUS) OF NAZARETH THE SOVEREIGN (KING) OF THE JEWS. 

935. basileu/ß basileus, bas-il-yooce´; probably from 939 (through the notion of a foundation of power); a sovereign (abstractly, relatively, or figuratively): — king. 

            NOTE: Sovereign (king) would be the equivalent of Adonai in Hebrew. 

The Living God

    Technically, this should read, the living Elohim, based on the OT understanding of the terms. In the OT this same phrase is chay elohim. It refers to the living Mighty One. Therefore, in every case in the NT where it is used we should identify it the same way, since it is definitely a Hebrew concept within a Hebrew tradition.

    However, there’s really nothing wrong with using The Living God, as long as you know to which “god” you are referring. And YAHWEH is the only “living elohim” – the only one who is alive, and in whom all life originates. Just be clear on what you’re saying. The benefit of using Elohim is the constant reminder of the unity that exists between the Father and the Son. 

2416. yAj chay, khah´-ee; from 2421; alive; hence, raw (flesh); fresh (plant, water, year), strong; also (as noun, especially in the feminine singular and masculine plural) life (or living thing), whether literally or figuratively: —+ age, alive, appetite, (wild) beast, company, congregation, life(-time), live(-ly), living (creature, thing), maintenance, + merry, multitude, + (be) old, quick, raw, running, springing, troop. 
430. MyIhølTa }elohiym, el-o-heem´; plural of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: —angels, x exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), x (very) great, judges, x mighty. 

2198. za¿w zao, dzah´-o; a primary verb; to live (literally or figuratively): — life(-time), (a-)live(-ly), quick. 

Matt. 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, You are The Messiah (Christ), the Son of the living Elohim (the living God).

Matt. 26:63 But YAHSHUAH (Jesus) held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto Him, I adjure You by the living Elohim (the living God), that You tell us whether You are The Messiah (Christ), the Son of YAHWEH (God). (The high priest would never have used the term “god” for this demand.)

John 6:69 And we believe and are sure that You are The Messiah (Christ), the Son of the living Elohim (the living God).

Acts 14:15 And saying, Sirs, why do you do these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that you should turn from these vanities unto the living elohim (the living God), who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them:

Rom. 9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living Elohim (the living God).

2Cor. 3:3 Forasmuch as you are clearly declared to be the epistle of The Messiah (Christ) ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living Elohim (the living God); not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

2Cor. 6:16 And what agreement has the temple of YAHWEH (God) with idols? For you are the temple of the living Elohim (the living God); as YAHWEH (God) has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their Elohim (God), and they shall be My people. (From Lev. 26.12)

1Tim. 3:15 But if I tarry long, that you may know how you ought to behave yourself in the house (dwelling place) of YAHWEH (God), which is the church of the living Elohim (the living God), the pillar and ground of the truth.

1Tim. 4:10 For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living Elohim (the living God), who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe.

1Tim. 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living Elohim (the living God), who gives us richly all things to enjoy;

Heb. 3:12 Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living Elohim (the living God).

Heb. 9:14 How much more shall the blood of The Messiah (Christ), who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to YAHWEH (God), purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim (the living God)?

Heb. 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living Elohim (the living God).

Heb. 12:22 But you have come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living Elohim (the living God), the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

Rev. 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Elohim (the living God): and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 

Lord

    This term is a problem in the New Testament because of its frequent and uncertain usage. The Greek term, kurios, does not specifically refer to God, or to The Messiah. It is used of any “lord”, any person with supreme authority, any one who controls another (my lord, I pray…), and slave owner – as a master. It is the term used to replace the Hebrew term adonay, which means sovereign.
    It has been used indiscriminately in the Greek New Testament and causes abundant confusion. We know the author of confusion is Satan. YAHWEH does not want us confused. He wants us to know the Truth. We would do well to put forth great effort at getting the Hebrew concepts identified in the New Testament  texts, with the various terms used in Hebrew to cover these differing roles. In the OT this term means either YAHWEH, elohim (Mighty One), or adonai, Sovereign. 

2962. ku/rioß kurios, koo´-ree-os; from  kuvroß kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Master (as a respectful title): — God, Lord, master, Sir.

    Now, you tell me, what does this term mean in any given verse? How do you know what it means? And if you don’t know what it means, how can you properly and correctly understand the verse? 

Lord’s Christ

Luke 2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen YAHWEH’s Messiah (the Lord’s Christ). 

The Lord Jesus

The Sovereign, YAHUSHUA. 

The Lord Jesus Christ

The Sovereign, YAHUSHUA, The Messiah. 

Lord your God

    The following verses all involve quotes from Deuteronomy in the OT. While have been “translated” from the Greek into English, we know they have Hebrew origins. As quotations we have the ability to identify exactly what the original Hebrew stated. This gives us the ability to properly translate these “Greek” terms as they occur in the NT.
    For the sake of consistency of translation, especially when quoting another’s work, the quotation should be kept exactly as the original. Even a paraphrase would come closer that some of what we’ve been given. This is very poor work on the part of the “translators”. Perhaps they had some personal agenda in mind when they did this. Whatever it was, it was a perversion of the Word of YAHWEH. 

Matt. 4:7 YAHSHUAH (Jesus) said unto him, It is written again, You shall not tempt YAHWEH, your Elohim  (YAHWEH  elohim - the Lord your God). (From Deut 6.16) 

Matt. 4:10 Then said YAHSHUAH (Jesus) unto him, Away with you, Satan: for it is written, “You shall worship YAHWEH, Your Elohim (YAHWEH  elohim  -the Lord your God), and Him only shall you serve.” (From Deut 6.13) 

Matt. 22:37 YAHUSHUA (Jesus) said to him, You shall love YAHWEH, your Elohim (YAHWEH  elohim - the Lord your God), with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. (From Deut 6.5) 

Mark 12:30And you shall love YAHWEH, your Elohim, (YAHWEH  elohim - the Lord your God), with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.” This is the first commandment. (From Duet. 6.5) 

Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said to him, Get behind Me, Satan: for it is written, “You shall worship YAHWEH, your Elohim, (YAHWEH  elohim -the Lord your God), and Him only shall you serve. (From Deut. 6.13) 

Luke 4:12 And Jesus answering said to him, “It is said, ‘You shall not tempt YAHWEH, your Elohim’.” (YAHWEH  elohim - the Lord your God). (From Deut. 6.16) 

Luke 10:27 And he answering said, You shall love YAHWEH, your Elohim, (YAHWEH  elohim - the Lord your God) with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. (From Deut. 6.5) 

Son of God

    This title, or description, occurs for the first and only time in the Old Testament in Daniel 3.25. Please note where and how this was used. It is written in Aramaic rather than Hebrew because of its use in a foreign land other than Israel. In the New Testament, during the life of YAHUSHUA, Aramaic was widely used in Israel. There are many who believe the early manuscripts for the New Testament were actually written in Aramaic and Hebrew, rather than in Greek. that’s a history lesson of its own if you’re interested in following it. 

Dan. 3:25 He answered and said, Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Note: Nebuchadnezzer did not know YAHWEH. This reference is to a son of a god (elohim), not The Son of YAHWEH. 
1247. r;Ab bar, bar; (Aramaic) corresponding to 1121; a son, grandson, etc.: —x old, son. 
426. ;hDlTa }elahh, el-aw´; (Aramaic) corresponding to 433; God: —God, god.
433. ;AhwølTa }elowahh, el-o´-ah; rarely (shortened) ;AhølTa }eloahh, el-o´-ah} probably prolonged (emphat.) from 410; a deity or the Deity:—God, god. See 430. 

    In the New Testament the words are translated from Greek. this is where we find a far more common usage of this phrase. It is not a name, it is a descriptive title, or perhaps only a description and not even a title. Watch the context for clues to its meaning. The Greek terms are as follows: 

5207. uiJo/ß huios, hwee-os´; apparently a primary word; a “son” (sometimes of animals), used very widely of immediate, remote or figuratively, kinship: — child, foal, son.

2316. qeo/ß theos, theh´-os; of uncertain affinity; a deity, especially (with 3588) the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very: — x exceeding, God, god(-ly, -ward). 

Matt. 4:3 And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If you are the Son of YAHWEH (God) (huios theou), command that these stones be made bread.

Note: this text literally says, “if you exist as (a/the - not specified in the text) )son of the god”. But without a correct identification this could mean any god. Since this is “the tempter”, Satan, we know he would be speaking perfect Hebrew to The Messiah. Hence, there should be little doubt that he uses the phrase as I have given it above. 

Matt. 4:6 And said unto Him, If You are the Son of YAHWEH (God), cast Yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning You: and in their hands they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone.

(This makes no sense if this does not identify YAHWEH as The Father.) 

Matt. 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with You, YAHUSHUA (Jesus), You Son of YAHWEH (God)? Have You come here to torment us before the time?

(The demons knew to whom they were speaking. They would have used the proper names.) 

Matt. 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Of a truth You are the Son of YAHWEH (God)

Matt. 26:63 But YAHUSHUA (Jesus) held His peace. And the high priest answered and said unto Him, I adjure thee by the living Mighty One, that You tell us whether You are The Messiah (Christ), the Son of YAHWEH (God).

(They would not care if He said He was the son of Baal, Allah, Astoreth, etc.) 

Matt. 27:40 And saying, You who destroy the temple, and builds it in three days, save Yourself. If You are the Son of Elohim (God), come down from the cross.

(The Jews would have been very careful here. In this time period pronouncing the specific personal name, YAHWEH, could get you stoned to death.) 

Matt. 27:43 He trusted in Elohim (God); let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him: for He said, I am the Son of Elohim (God).

(Since this is the chief priests and the scribes speaking in public, one must assume they would not use the name YAHWEH in such a situation. See comment above.) 

Matt. 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching YAHUSHUA (Jesus), saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of Elohim (God).

(He is not likely to have known the name YAHWEH.) 

Mark 1:1  The beginning of the gospel of YAHUSHUA (Jesus), The Messiah (Christ), the Son of YAHWEH (God)

Mark 3:11 And unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried, saying, You are the Son of YAHWEH (God)

Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, who stood over against Him, saw that He so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of Elohim (God)

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall over shadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you the Son of YAHWEH (God) shall  be called the Son of YAHWEH (God).

Luke 3:38 Who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of Elohim (God).

(Note: “the son” is inserted into the text as inferred, not stated. Adam would be considered to the a son of Elohim, since at his creation there was no other “god”.) 

Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto Him, If You are the Son of YAHWEH (God), command this stone that it be made bread. 

Luke 4:9 And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto Him, If You are the Son of YAHWEH (God), cast Yourself down from here: 

Luke 4:41 And demonic beings also came out of many, crying out, and saying, “You are The Messiah (Christ), The Son of YAHWEH (God).” And He, rebuking them, allowed them not to speak: for they knew that He was The Messiah (Christ). 

Note: This is a very important verse. It teaches us that the devils, these demonic beings, knew YAHUSHUA was The Messiah, The Son of YAHWEH – long promised in scripture. There can be little doubt they knew His proper name, and the name of His Father. 

Luke 8:28 When he saw YAHUSHUA (Jesus), he cried out, and fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with You, YAHUSHUA (Jesus), the Son of YAHWEH (God) most high? I beseech You, torment me not. 

Note: There may be another Hebraic term used here in place of YAHWEH, since reference is made to the Most High. Hebrew does potentially provide a different term in this case. Without the original Hebrew text one simply cannot make a determination for certain. 

Luke 22:70 Then they all said, Are You, then, the Son of YAHWEH (God)? And He said to them, You say that I AM. 

NOTE: YAHUSHUA, being questioned by Hebrew scholars and authorities, is asked directly if He is the son of “God”. But a “theos” could be any god. That’s most assuredly, not what the Jewish leaders were asking of Him! They wanted to know if He was indeed The Promised “Son of YAHWEH”, their long-awaited Messiah. YAHUSHUA’s answer is most striking. Effectively, He equates himself with The I AM, YAHWEH, who revealed Himself to Moses, declaring His memorial name for eternity. 

John 1:34 And I saw, and bore record that this is the Son of YAHWEH (God)

John 1:49 Nathanael answered and said unto Him, Rabbi, You are the Son of YAHWEH (God); You are The King of Israel. (Only YAHWEH/YAHUSHUA can be the true King of Israel.) 

John 3:18 He that believes on Him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of YAHWEH (God)

Note: The name of the only begotten Son of YAHWEH is YAHUSHUA. The name declares YAHWEH is salvation. If one does not believe YAHWEH is salvation – that person has no salvation. They have rejected YAHWEH as The Creator, The Savior, The Redeemer, The Sovereign, The Eternally Existing One. Without a belief in Him there is no salvation! 

John 5:25 Truly, truly I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of YAHWEH (God): and they that hear shall live. 

John 9:35  YAHUSHUA (Jesus) heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, Do you believe on the Son of YAHWEH (God)? 

John 10:36 do you say of Him whom The Father sanctified and sent into the world, “You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of YAHWEH (God)’? 

John 11:4 When YAHUSHUA (Jesus) heard that, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of YAHWEH (God), that the Son of YAHWEH (God) might be glorified thereby. 

John 11:27 She said to Him, Indeed, Sovereign (Lord): I believe that You are The Messiah (Christ), the Son of YAHWEH (God), who should come into the world. 

John 19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because he made Himself the Son of Elohim (God) .

(They would not “profane” the name YAHWEH by pronouncing it correctly in this situation.) 

John 20:31 But these are written, that you might believe that YAHUSHUA (Jesus) is The Messiah (Christ), the Son of YAHWEH (God); and that believing you might have life through His name

Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that YAHUSHUA, The Messiah, (Jesus Christ) is the Son of YAHWEH (God)

Acts 9:20 And immediately he preached The Messiah (Christ) in the synagogues, that He is the Son of YAHWEH (God)

Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of YAHWEH (God), with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 

2Cor. 1:19 For the Son of YAHWEH (God), YAHUSHUA, The Messiah (Jesus Christ), who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but in Him was yes. 

Gal. 2:20 I am crucified with The Messiah (Christ): nevertheless I live; yet not I, but The Messiah (Christ) lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of YAHWEH (God), who loved me, and gave Himself for me. 

Eph. 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of YAHWEH (God), unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of The Messiah (Christ): 

Heb. 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, YAHUSHUA (Jesus), the Son of YAHWEH (God), let us hold fast our profession. 

Heb. 6:6 If they fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of YAHWEH (God) afresh, and put Him to an open shame. 

Heb. 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of YAHWEH (God); abides a priest continually. 

Heb. 10:29 Of how much severe punishment, do you suppose, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of YAHWEH (God), and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 

1John 3:8 He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of YAHWEH (God) was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 

1John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that YAHUSHUA (Jesus) is the Son of YAHWEH (God), YAHWEH (God) dwells in him, and he in YAHWEH (God). 

1John 5:5 Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that YAHUSHUA (Jesus) is the Son of YAHWEH (God)

1John 5:10 He who believes on the Son of YAHWEH (God) has the witness in himself: he that believes not YAHWEH (God) has made him a liar; because he believes not the record that YAHWEH (God) gave of His Son. 

1John 5:12 He that has The Son has eternal life; and he that has not the Son of YAHWEH (God) hash not eternal life. 

1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of YAHWEH (God); that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of YAHWEH (God)

1John 5:20 And we know that the Son of YAHWEH (God)  has come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true; and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son, YAHUSHUA, The Messiah (Jesus Christ). This is the true God (could be elohim or YAHWEH), and eternal life. 

Rev. 2:18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things says the Son of YAHWEH (God), who has His eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass; 

Son of Man

    This phrase does not always apply to YAHUSHUA. As such, it is not a title. In all cases where it appears it at the very least refers to the son of a human being. It occurs 196 times. The first occurrence in the OT is Numbers 23.19. The first one in the NT is Matt. 8.20. Please note the multiple uses for the words that are translated as son, and man. 

Num. 23:19 The Mighty One (el – God) is not a man, that He should lie; nor the son of a human being (son of man), that He should repent: has He spoken, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good? 

Matt. 8:20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the son of a human being (Son of Man) has nowhere to lay His head.” 
1121. N;Eb ben, bane; from 1129; a son (as a builder of the family name), in the widest sense (of literal and figurative relationship, including grandson, subject, nation, quality or condition, etc., (like 1, 251, etc.)): —+ afflicted, age, (Ahoh-) (Ammon-) (Hachmon-) (Lev-)ite, (anoint-)ed one, appointed to, (+) arrow, (Assyr-) (Babylon-) (Egypt-) (Grec-)ian, one born, bough, branch, breed, + (young) bullock, + (young) calf, x came up in, child, colt, x common, x corn, daughter, x of first, + firstborn, foal, + very fruitful, + postage, x in, + kid, + lamb, (+) man, meet, + mighty, + nephew, old, (+) people, + rebel, + robber, x servant born, x soldier, son, + spark, + steward, + stranger, x surely, them of, + tumultuous one, + valiant(-est), whelp, worthy, young (one), youth. 

120. M∂dDa }adam, aw-dawm´; from 119; ruddy i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.): —x another, + hypocrite, + common sort, x low, man (mean, of low degree), person. 

5207. uiJo/ß huios, hwee-os´; apparently a primary word; a “son” (sometimes of animals), used very widely of immediate, remote or figuratively, kinship:  — child, foal, son.

    I sincerely hope your review of these titles that are often applied to The Messiah, and often used as if they are names for Him, has given you some new insights into the truth concerning them. As you may have noticed, the context of any given verse of Scripture is always important. The surrounding material generally helps you to understand the meaning of specific terms. Please keep this in mind every time you read Scripture.
    May the blessed name of YAHUSHUA be honored and glorified in your life as you begin to use the language of Scripture more carefully and more accurately. You will most assuredly assist others by using the correct terminology.

May YAHWEH speak to your heart and bless you with understanding as you explore His Word.
