The movement of Yahoshea laid emphasis on the divine name Yahweh and Yahoshea Meshiyach as the true name of the saviour. It focused on Sabbath rest as well as divinely approved doctrines and traditions of the Hebrew nation. These were strictly copied and followed by Prophet Yahmarabhi Ha Meshiyach in his version of Yahosheanism.
