1 | Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? | Is 7:14 | charis | 6108 | ||
Dear ekip, Welcome back from a long hiatus! The 'name' Immanuel is mentioned only two times, both in Isaiah (7:14 and 8:8). The first clearly speaks of the Messiah, and the second seems to speak to the 'land of Messaiah.' There are no other references to this name suggesting that it is not a common name for an Israelite, as is Jesus, Joshua or Yehoshua, meaning 'God is Salvation' or 'Savior.' I guess what I am trying to say is that Mary naming her son 'Immanuel' might be considered presumptuous or irreverent, but apparently 'Jesus' was not. Possibly calling the Lord 'Immanuel' would be inconsistent with His humble nature? Ekip, this is not a dumb question, but quite thought-provoking. I am sure that there is a much more esoteric theory :-) This is my contribution. Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |

Hi charis, A capitalization question for you. You wrote that Isa 8:8 seems to speak to the 'land of Messaiah." Does that mean that you lean toward the capitalization of "Your land" as in the NKJ? This speaks to the Deity of Christ in my mind. Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23 make a very good contrast for scripture comparison. Another important capitalization would be the NKJ "Child" of Isaiah 7:16. Later, Ray |

Matt. 1:23 simply states what Mary should call her baby and what the name means. Luke 1:31 states His name shall be called JESUS,they both should mean Salvation. The first told Mary who would be her baby (GOD) and His name would be JESUS | ||||||
