matthew was just quoting isaiah 7:14, he wasn't calling him immanuel. the prophecy states that he will be "called" immanuel, it doesn't say he's immanuel (god with us).

jesus is not the fulfillment of isaiah 7:14. the idea is ridiculous. how can jesus be a sign for ahaz, when jesus was born several centuries after ahaz's death?

Isaiah was speaking for God and was prophesying to the Israelites that Jesus IS the Immanuel, and that He would be born of a virgin. Immanuel, meaning "God with us", is saying that Christ was God in flesh and would dwell among humans. That is why He is called Immanuel.

kz: "Emmanuel" - translated "God is with us" [roughly] describes both, WHO and WHAT God was doing here, on the earth. Since Jesus or "Emmanuel" was God in the flesh, dwelling amongst His creation - people, to go about saying He was God would most definitely ignite a barrage of hate and disdain for Him. This can be found in Matthew, chapter 1, verse 3, of the New Testament.

Matt 1:23 as Daniel stated. Emmanuel means "God with Us". Jesus has many names, and Emmanuel is just one of them.

Matthew says: “Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” (Matt. 1:22, 23, Dy) According to God’s command, the child was named Jesus.

Right here:
Mat 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.

(Emmanuel-God with us)Jesus' name in hebrew was Yeshua which is transliterated as Yahweh salvation,Yahweh being the hebrew name for the Lord,literally meant God's salvation with us every time Jesus' name was mentioned.

Emmanuel, means I think god with us, so it was his name.
