And He Shall Be Called: Immanuel
Isaiah spoke often of the coming Messiah for the deliverance and salvation of God’s people. Â As the angels spoke to John, they revealed the truth of the words from Isaiah. Â “‘Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. ‘ Isaiah 7:14, NIVÂ As with many of the names given throughout the biblical text, names carry a significance and meaning as to the nature of a person. Â Immanuel translates from the Hebrew to “God is with us.” The nature of Jesus’ relationship with mankind is summed up in with this name. Â Â Â
