Keren-Yeshua
קֶרֶן יְשׁוּעָה
Horn of Salvation — the strength that lifts and saves
Symbol: The mountain ram sure-footed on the heights — strength for high places
“He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David.”
Luke 1:69
Zechariah's Spirit-filled name for Jesus: the horn — ancient symbol of power — raised up to save.
What the name means
In the wild, the horn is an animal's strength and honor; salvation here is not a concept but a Person with power.
God 'raised up' this horn — salvation is God's initiative, born in the house of David as promised.
The horn also pictures lifting: He saves you up and out, not merely out of trouble.
How to pray this name
- Pray for strength with salvation: 'Horn of my salvation, lift me.'
- Declare it over addictions and impossible patterns — His saving strength is horn-strength.
Keren-Yeshua, Horn of my Salvation, raise me out of what holds me and set my feet on the heights. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
God has raised up a Horn of Salvation for me — saving strength is mine in Christ.
