In the comparison of the Tenach and The New Covenant I will begin with fulfilled prophecies and then at times I will also compare the teachings of Yeshua in the New Covenant with the teachings in the Tenach.
Isaiah7:14 "Therefore the L-Rd himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
Compare with
Matthew 1:18-23 "Now the birth of Yeshua The Messiah was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man , and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily, But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the L-RD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name YESHUA: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the L-Rd by the prophet saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is G-d with us."
Since the Tenach was written mainly in Hebrew and The New Covenant was written in Greek some of the same words translate with different spelling. For example Immanuel is translated into English from the Hebrew and Emmanuel is translated from the Greek into English. They are the same word with different spelling because of being translated from two different languages. Yeshua is the same word in Hebrew as Jesus is in the Greek. Since the name Jesus has been so misused by every religion there is, (Every major religion has a Jesus and none of them are the Jesus of the Bible )I have chosen to use the Hebrew name, Yeshua
