The name "Emmanuel" is derived from the Hebrew "עִמָּנוּאֵל" (Immanuel), which means "God with us." This term is notably found in the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, which states, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." This prophecy is significant in the Christian tradition as it is interpreted as a foretelling of the birth of Jesus Christ, who is seen as the ultimate fulfillment of this promise of God's presence among humanity.In the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew explicitly connects Jesus to this prophecy. Matthew 1:22-23 states, "All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel' (which means 'God with us')." The name Emmanuel thus encapsulates a central theme of Christian theology: the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus, emphasizing the closeness and relational aspect of God with humanity. This underscores the belief that through Jesus, God entered human history to offer redemption and a personal relationship with mankind.
