A name-gloss Neville uses as an argument rather than as a definition, which is what makes it a motif and not a dictionary entry. The word Jesus means Jehovah saves; so salvation is not something Jesus brings, it is what the name says God does, and wherever scripture promises salvation it is naming him. He reaches it here through Isaiah 51: lift up your eyes to the heavens and look to the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke and the earth wear out like a garment, and they who dwell on it will do likewise - but my salvation will be forever, and my deliverance will never have an end. That word salvation, he says, means Jesus. And the whole doctrine follows from it: were it not that God became man that man may become God, and that he would save man and lift him to immortality, man would wear out like the earth. It stands beside the other name-glosses he uses the same way - Jesse means I AM, Jehovah means I AM - and belongs with them rather than apart from them. Coined 2026-09-20 under the architect's ruling on the lexicon boundary (PM 6015/6018/6056): the lexicon holds only bare identity equations that function as a dictionary gloss; a reading of a specific verse, and a teaching claim Neville argues or applies, are motifs. The test given: does he do something with it in the lecture, or does he only state it? Argued or applied means motif.
