Jesus and Emanuel....?

Question

In Matthew 1:23 it says that a virgin will bring forth a child and his name will be Emanuel... And it says that Jesus fulfilled this prophecy... Am I missing something or is this prophecy not talking about Jesus?

Answer 1

Yes!  Jesus IS Emanuel!!  (Meaning, God with us!)

Answer 2

Immanuel means God with us. Since Jesus is/was God He literally fulfilled this prophecy when He came to Earth and became a man. Also, the name Jesus means the Lord saves. Jesus died to save us and He was/is Lord. And there is no Lord but the Lord God.

Answer 3

Yes, it is talking about Jesus.  Emanual means God With Us. And God was with the believers on earth when He sent His Son to be with mankind for 3.5 years.  

Answer 4

You are missing something honey.

Answer 5

the el in the name means god (elohim)  the name emanuel means

god with us, you must remember the new testament was written in greek!  both the father and son are called by many names  ,the problem is most people are confused about which is which because they dont read their bible, here's an example, in john 1st chapter , the first 3 verses explain that jesus is the word,(the speaker) so who is doing the speaking in genesis ,its jesus and not his father but because the name god is used people mistake this for the father !

read the first chapter of john and you will find out the truth and what all churches dont want you to know ,jesus was the god of the old testament too ,dont believe me read it for yourself,at least you will know the truth even tho most people wont believe you but then most people dont read their bible!

Answer 6

God/Jesus same person.  Emanuel means "God with us".  Hope this helps some.

Just My Thoughts!

Answer 7

There is something to your idea, maybe. Do some research into the Jewish text, and some of the translations.
