Isaiah 7: 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
MESSAGE
The name "Immanuel" occurs in Isaiah's important prophecy (Isaiah 7:14-16) ,regarding Matthew 1:23: "Emmanuel," meaning "God with us" carries the implication that God is sovereignly working His purpose in the lives of His people to protect us and work through us. He will fulfill His promises no matter how earnestly men may oppose them. Also again in Isaiah 7:14 the Bible gives a prophecy of the name of Jesus. It says, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel."1 If we go to Matt. 1:21, it says, "And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins." The reference in Matt. 1:23 teaches that Jesus in His Person is truly God, but it also includes the idea that God’s plan of redemption is unstoppable and that our ultimate security and provision is in the Person of Christ. This means that God's purposes stand no matter how strenuously evildoers oppose them. Note the similarity of Isaiah 7:7 and 8:10. The reference in Matt. 1:23 teaches that Jesus in His Person is truly God, but it also includes the idea that God’s plan of redemption is unstoppable and that our ultimate security and provision is in the Person of Christ. The Lord of hosts has sworn saying, "Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand to break Assyria in My Land, and I will trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke will be removed from them and his burden removed from their shoulder. (Isaiah 14: 24-25) BECAUSE God was with them, So names are more descriptive in the Hebrew and Greek then they are in English. They often refer to the character, purpose, etc., of the one being named. The closer we come to understanding of the Bible the more it removes all ignorance of the word by shedding light to our understanding.
Matthew 13:13-15: (13) Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. (14) And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; (15) For the hearts of this people have grown dull. [Their] ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with [their] eyes and hear with [their] ears, Lest they should understand with [their] hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.'
When it came time to name the Lord, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told Joseph to call his new son "Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins" (Matt. 1:21). The word "Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation." This is appropriate since Jesus is Jehovah, second person of the Trinity, who became flesh and is our salvation.So, we can see that a prophecy of Jesus being revealed to Prophet Isaiah as "Immanuel" is dealing with him being God, Also Emmanuel as written in the New testament ‘’GOD with us’’ . This was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus when the Word, known as the Son, second person of the Trinity, became flesh.His name is Wonderful, His name is Wonderful,Jesus our Lord;He is the mighty King, master of everything,He's the great Shepherd, the Rock of all ages,Almighty God is He; Bow down before Him, love and adore Him,
Isaiah 9:6"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and thegovernment shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall becalled Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father,The Prince of Peace."
Prayer: The Lord of hosts has sworn saying, "Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and HE will break all Assyria in our Land in JESUS Name, and HE will trample on mountains and Hills because our yoke has been removed and our burden removed from our shoulder in JESUS Name.
