Jul 10, 2016 · The Jews say, "How is it then that He is not called Emmanuel but Jesus Christ?" One may answer, "The prophet did not say 'You shall call', but 'They shall call.'" That is, the events and deeds of His life will show that He is God and that He keeps company with us.

You will notice in the passage quoted above that Jesus appears to be given two names. Joseph is instructed to name the child Jesus, a name that means “Yahweh saves.” This name is appropriate because he will save his people from their sins. The actual name given in this passage is Yeshua, which translates into English as Joshua. But as it has gone t...
Several sports have identified specific players as their G.O.A.T., which means the Greatest of All Time. That is not actually a name that has been given to them. Instead, it is more of a descriptive title. No one actually calls them Goat. But many identify them as G.O.A.T. I believe the same is true here with Jesus and Immanuel. Immanuel was not in...
What I believe is the most explicit “God with us” reference to Jesus comes from the prologue to John’s gospel. He starts by introducing the Word as God, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). And he follows that up by describing the Word as taking on human form, “The Word became flesh and made h...

Luke 1:31 “And ...
Answer: The word Emmanuel translates to “God is with us.” Matthew recalls the messianic prophecy from Isaiah 7:14 and states that its ultimate fulfillment is found in Mary’s Son: “Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel” (Matt. 1:23).
May 30, 2017 · So, to summarize, instead of being named Emmanuel, which means “God with us,” Jesus actually is “God with us.” That’s the deeper meaning of the earlier statement that can be recognized as God carries out the plans he announced. And the name “Jesus” itself is not without significance.
Why is our Savior named Jesus, and not Immanuel, as was instructed by an angel and prophesied by Isaiah the prophet? The only place in the New Testament where Immanuel (Emmanuel) is used for Jesus is in the gospel of Matthew.
0. Why was Jesus never called Emmanuel? (Matthew 1:23) 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
