Explanation

Exodus 15:2 belongs to the song sung after Israel's deliverance through the sea. Moses and the Israelites praise the LORD as their strength, song, and salvation and declare that they will exalt Him. The Hebrew word for "salvation" is related linguistically to the name Yeshua, the Hebrew form associated with the name Jesus, but the verse itself is a declaration about God's saving action in the Exodus rather than a direct prediction of Jesus' personal name or later exaltation.

Acts 7:55-56 describes Stephen seeing the glory of God and Jesus standing at God's right hand. Christians rightly confess Jesus as the exalted Savior, but the proposed connection with Exodus 15:2 should be expressed cautiously. The strongest relationship is theological: the God who saved Israel and was exalted in Israel's song is the source of salvation, while the New Testament presents Jesus as the exalted Lord through whom God's saving work reaches its climax. The similarity involving the Hebrew term for salvation can enrich Christian reflection, but it should not be treated as a straightforward lexical prediction of the name Jesus.
