“Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and give birth to a son, and will call his name ‘Jesus.’” (Luke 1:31 WEB)
The naming of Jesus, or the original Hebrew name, Yeshua, is very significant.
It instantly unlocks many parts of the Old Testament. It is like a big clue that allows you to solve many pieces of God’s jigsaw puzzle.
For example, consider the following verse:
“Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.’”” (Isaiah 62:11 WEB)
The word translated as “salvation” in the verse above is actually “Yeshua” in the original Hebrew.
So the verse is actually talking about Jesus. Suddenly, we understand that Isaiah’s prophecies about “salvation” and “righteousness” coming to Israel is actually referring to Jesus.
Jesus is the righteousness of God. He did no sin, knew no sin and in Him is no sin. He is the embodiment of divine righteousness.
In case you have any doubt that the verse above is talking about Jesus, take a look at the following verse:
““Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.” (Revelation 22:12 WEB)
It is the same. Jesus identifies Himself as the “salvation” that Isaiah prophesied about.
Yes, Jesus will come again, and there will be a day where we will be rewarded for all the good works we have done for His sake.
If you want to learn more about God’s eternal rewards and how to maximize them, especially seeing as the Lord’s return seems closer than ever, you can read my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”.
It is rated 5 stars on Amazon. This is what one reader said in a review, “I recommend all Milton's books. Milton is a very good writer and extremely skilled at making difficult passages clear. He excels especially at interpreting the gospels of Jesus and the parables. I highly recommend all his teachings and books. He is one of the best Bible teachers I've come across!”
Another one: “”Sandcastles Won't Last Forever" is very well written, its message loud and clear. Milton Goh gives common sense insight on often confusing scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times.My understanding of the Bible has definitely improved.”

“You search and keep on searching and examining the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet it is those [very Scriptures] that testify about Me;” (John 5:39 AMP)
The Bible is the story of Yahweh (Jesus) finding a perfect bride for Himself.
When Adam sinned, God already had a plan to reconcile mankind to Himself.
Yahweh sovereignly chose the nation of Israel which came from the loins of Abraham to be His special treasure, like a beloved bride.
But Israel committed spiritual adultery with the idols of the Gentile nations.
When she had gotten so corrupt, even worse than Sodom, Yahweh divorced her, and Israel ceased to be considered His people for a time (Ezekiel 16).
“He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.” (Hosea 1:9 WEB)
Under the Law, the penalty for adultery was death. Israel should have been totally wiped out, but Yahweh had a plan to legally reserve a remnant of Israel for Himself.
““‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.” (Leviticus 20:10 WEB)
His plan was hinted by the prophets and finally revealed when Yahweh appeared as Jesus to die on the cross for not just Israel’s sins, but the sins of the whole world.
Through dying in the place of His beloved bride and thereby paying for her sins, Jesus has a righteous basis to reconcile Israel to Himself.
His bride is at root Jewish, but Gentiles have been grafted in as well—everyone who placed their faith in Jesus as Lord becomes a citizen of Israel that has been born of the Spirit—a chosen people of promise, not by the flesh.
“But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree; don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.” (Romans 11:17-18 WEB)
Today we are part of a Jewish marriage custom which reflects the heavenly marriage process as well.
We are in the betrothal stage whereby our Bridegroom Jesus has given us special gifts to purchase us as His bride.
He has washed us with His own blood and the water of His water, making us pure and unblemished.
He has dressed us with ministry and spiritual gifts like golden crowns, bangles and necklaces.
Now we are waiting for Him to come and receive us to His Father’s house for the private wedding and honeymoon.
In a Jewish wedding, the bridegroom comes to receive the bride at a time that she doesn’t know.
They don’t meet each other for at least a week to remain ceremonially holy and this also increases the anticipation and longing for each other.
The bride only knows an estimated period of time, so she has to be dressed and ready for it to happen at any time during that season of time.
This speaks of the Rapture of the saints—we know the signs that indicate the closeness to His return, but we don’t know the exact day or hour. Nevertheless our spirit longs for Jesus’ return.
When the church is in Heaven with Jesus, that period of 7 years is like the private honeymoon. During this time, the world will be going through the Tribulation—Daniel’s 70th week, also known as the time of Jacob’s trouble.
In a Jewish wedding, after the couple consummate their marriage during their honeymoon, they will emerge from the room and appear to their invited guests at a marriage feast to celebrate with them.
This speaks of the Second Coming of Christ. Jesus will return to earth with His bride (that’s us) and defeat the Antichrist. He will then set up His Millennial kingdom from Jerusalem—like a marital home where He will live with His bride.
The marriage feast will be held in the Millennial Kingdom on earth. The virgins at the feast (Matthew 25:1-13) represent Jews who place their faith in Jesus during the Tribulation, while the servants of the bridegroom (Luke 12:35-40) represent the Gentiles who place their faith in Jesus during the Tribualtion.
At the marriage feast of the Lamb, eternal rewards will be given out to every believer at that time. It will be a great day of celebration for all the redeemed!
“and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.” When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”” (Luke 14:14-15 WEB)
In my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever” you will learn more about eternal rewards as well as how to identify and fulfill your God-given calling in this lifetime.

The God of Unlimited Abundance
“and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up twelve full baskets of the leftover broken pieces.” (Matthew 14:20 AMP)
When I read my Bible, I see a generous God who doesn’t set any limits to His blessings.
When Jesus worked the miracle of multiplying the loaves and fishes, the multitudes ate until THEY were satisfied.
In other words, we set the limits in our minds.
Another example:
“I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”” (Psalms 91:16 WEB)
Who is the one who is satisfied? It is God satisfying us! Meaning we decide what we deem as long life.
“who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalms 103:5 WEB)
Again, God satisfies our desire with good things.
Some of us are so lazy with our faith that we can’t be bothered to exercise it to believe and ask for more.
Always be in a posture of receiving more supply from God. There is an unbreakable connection between you and Heaven. Keep seeing fresh grace for everything being delivered to you.
At times, religious thoughts hold us back from believing for more. For example, “I shouldn’t be so greedy. I should be content with my lot in life. If God wants to give me more, He will.”
This is a lie! Jesus’ finished work at the cross already overpaid for you so that God has approved you to receive every spiritual blessing!
If you receive anything less than EVERY, then you’re wasting the potential of what Jesus did for you at the cross.
Yes it’s good to be content in every situation, but God wants to give you everything that Jesus died for you to have!
It won’t happen if you have a maybe yes maybe no attitude—that’s unbelief.
Also, if you are really so enthusiastic about winning souls and sharing the Gospel, then you need both provision and health to do that.
It takes money to print books and Gospel tracts, to rent event venues for preaching, and to help the poor, widows and orphans.
You also can’t do all these personally if you’re always sick and weak.
Don’t keep thinking about your provision and health already being enough for you. You need to receive MUCH MORE so that you can be an even greater blessing to others.
“Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from of all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.” (2 Kings 4:3 WEB)
Look, God doesn’t want you to just have a few containers. Enlarge your capacity to receive more oil of God’s blessings. See God as generous and holding nothing back from you!
“He said, “Take the arrows”; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”; and he struck three times, and stopped. The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it; whereas now you will strike Syria just three times.”” (2 Kings 13:18-19 WEB)
God doesn’t want you to just co-exist with your spiritual enemies and always struggle in a stalemate with them. He wants to give you overwhelming victory over them!
So many of us just strike three times instead of receiving more and believing for more. When we pray, we aren’t persistent, and we’re not bold in asking for more.
“But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”” (Matthew 13:23 NKJV)
If you settle for the thirtyfold manifestation of God’s blessings and stop asking for more, then you’ll never experience the hundredfold.
I sense that God want us to smash those self-imposed limits in our mind and see that He is the God of unlimited abundance.
Life and life more abundantly is our portion.
Meditate on the pieces of Scripture that I’ve shared and see how God’s blessings are not dependent on Him being satisfied, but us being satisfied.
We choose how much is enough. If we really want to make great impact for God’s glory, then we need to have faith for more. For the sake of others, we really need to prosper in all things and be healthy, even as our souls prosper!
In my new book “Messiah’s Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on all 37 recorded miracles done by Jesus in the four gospels.
I believe that as you see Jesus working miracles, unveiling God’s heart of love, goodness and mercy towards man, you will also receive faith to see more miracles in every area of your life!
Your capacity to receive will be increased as you grow in your revelation of Jesus!
Testimonials for the book:
“One of my most trusted teachers has truly written a masterpiece. I can't put this book down.”
- Michael Clark, Highly Sought-After Preacher in USA
“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
- Ann Tan, GEM patron from Singapore
