"He has become my Yeshua" Isa. 12:2,3

"The Bible tells us that Yahweh became Yeshua (Jesus), for we read in Isaiah 12:2, 3,

2 Behold, God is my salvation [Yeshua], I will trust and not be afraid; for the Lord God [Yah Yahweh] is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation [Yeshua]. 3 Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation [Yeshua].

Jesus’ Hebrew name, Yeshua (or Joshua), means “salvation.” Wherever it appears in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, it prophesies of Jesus Christ. Hence, when the old man, Simeon, saw Jesus as a baby, he rejoiced at seeing the Messiah, saying in Luke 2:30, “my eyes have seen Your salvation,” i.e., Yeshua. Jesus also refers to Isaiah’s prophecy in John 7:37, 38, when He instructs the people to come to Him for drink. Jesus was the Source of “the springs of salvation” in Isaiah 12:3, which, if anyone partook of those waters, out from his innermost being would flow “rivers of living water.” Stephen Jones

"John 7: 37&38

Now on the final and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood forth and He cried in a loud voice, If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!

He who believes in Me - who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me - as the scripture has said, Out from his innermost being springs and rivers of living water shall flow. (Jesus quoting from Isaiah)

But He was speaking here of the Spirit, Whom those who believed - trusted, had faith- in Him were afterward to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given; because Jesus was not yet glorified. (rasised to honor)" AMP
