Why is JESUS is all upper case?

Question; Why did the K.J.B. put each letter of the name of JESUS in upper case in Matthew 1:21 and 25?

And why did all other Bibles using the corrupted A. Codex Alexandrinus, and B. Vatican 1209, 4th century as their foundation put the Lord's name in a lower-case "Jesus?" These other Bibles are the N.I.V., N.W.T., N.A.S.V. Revised Standard, and all other modern-day editions.

Matthew 1:21, “And (Joseph) knew her (Mary) not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.”

Matthew 1:21, “And (Joseph) knew her (Mary) not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” All in upper case.

The ending of the Hebrew name Joshua has been changed, for the sake of conforming it to the Greek. Christ is our Joshua or Jehoshua; He is the captain of our salvation, and the High Priest of our faith, and, in both of the two offices, He is our Savior.

Joshua followed as leader of the Jews after Moses' death, leading them into the Promised Land. Christians have their Jehoshua! JESUS does for us what the law cannot do because there is no strength in it. JESUS will lead us into heaven, our Promised Land.

Joshua was Moses' right-hand man. He was called Hosea, or Oshea in Numbers 13:16, but Moses prefixed Oshua with “Jeh,” the first syllable of the name “Oshea,” making it Jeh-oshua. He is God “Jeh,” and He is man, Oshea. Even his name supports this teaching.

We read in Numbers 13:16, “These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea (meaning Joshua) the son of nun.”

Moses did this to suggest that the coming Messiah was to bear that name; and that the child promised in Isaiah indicated would be Jehovah. Being Jehovah, He can save to the uttermost, neither is there salvation in any other.
Isaiah 9:6, His name shall be called the Mighty God.”

Why did the K.J.B. put each letter of the name of JESUS in upper case in Matthew 1:21 and 25?

This is just a peculiar stylistic choice on the part of some publishers of the KJV.

Early editions of the KJV -- including the original Robert Baker printing in 1611 -- did not render the name Jesus in all caps in these verses.



I suspect one of the Oxford or Cambridge editions of the KJV in the late 1700s introduced this convention.

And why did all other Bibles using the corrupted A. Codex Alexandrinus, and B. Vatican 1209, 4th century as their foundation put the Lord's name in a lower-case "Jesus?" These other Bibles are the N.I.V., N.W.T., N.A.S.V. Revised Standard, and all other modern-day editions.

This has nothing to do with the Greek manuscripts underlying any of these translations.

So, do you think the Holy Spirit did not influence the matter? I am amazed at how easily people shrug off important issues like this. I like to think of it as Divine intervention. But thanks for your information. The only personal evidence I possess in my home are the 1802, 1823, and 1827 King James Bibles. I'm going to have to go along with that. There may have been an issue with the early editions of the K.J.B. because of the printing presses of that era ???????????

Matthew 1:21, “And (Joseph) knew her (Mary) not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.”

In that one instance? How does that prove what you are trying to say? The emphasis was there because of the announcement of what the Savior's name was to be. It was a very important factor in Messiah's coming. It would be different from all the other names that he could be called. "Make sure that you call him "Jesus." It is that kind of emphasis. No where else is his name in all uppercase.

"The announcement of Jesus' name? Hmm! No, here's the announcement, Mathew 1:23, "And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is God with us."

As for upper case JESUS, I'll refer you back to my second post. Christ is our Joshua or Jehoshua;

Joshua also called "Jehoshus" led his people into the Promised Land. We have our Jehoshea, Old Testament name. JESUS New Testament Name. He will lead us into heaven, our Promised Land.

Joshua, a shadow of the coming Messiah, was Moses' right-hand man. He was called Hosea, or Oshea in Numbers 13:16, but Moses prefixed Oshua with “Jeh,” the first syllable of the name “Oshea,” making it Jeh-oshua. Jeh is God and Oshea is man. Jesus' name supports this teaching, Jesus is the God-man.

Numbers 13:16, “These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea (meaning Joshua) the son of nun.”

Moses did this to suggest that the coming Messiah was to bear that name; and that the child promised in Isaiah indicated would be Jehovah come in the flesh. Jehovah is Jesus' heavenly name, Jesus is his earthly name.

Abram was his earthy name, Abraham his God-given name. The same with Sarai her earthy name, Sarah her God-given name. Jacob was his earthly name, Israel his God-given name. Jacob represents fallen Israel, The name Israel represents saved Israel. Romans 9:6, "For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel."

The Promised Land was and is here on Earth. The ancients didn't have any concept of being in heaven. They all looked forward to being in Paradise on Earth. (Isaiah 11: 6-9; Isaiah 35: 1,5-7; Isaiah 65: 21-25; Isaiah 45: 18) Jesus said that people had the hope of the Kingdom in heaven only after the coming of John the Baptist (Luke 16: 16; John 3: 13). So in all of those days in the past, before John, people understood there to be a coming paradise on the earth. Where would they be if not on Earth? They didn't have the heavenly hope. (See Psalm 37: 9-11,29.)

BTW, "Jehoshua" means "Salvation of Jehovah," or, "Jehovah Saves." Jesus is Jehovah's means of salvation.

I'll start a new thread on the 1000-year reign of Christ. You will find your answer there. Get yourself a timeline and follow the years and events that lie before the earth and its inhabitance.

I have a timeline. I know what is coming for the earth and its inhabitants. Something that most people don't realize because they've been lied to by their religious leaders who really have twisted the Bible's teachings.

Okay, then I'll do it for those who don't. That's what I'm here for, to help and to exchange ideas. I may be 87, but I still have a lot to learn. And every time I learn something new; it's a great day!
