1 | Jesus or Immanuel | Rev 21:3 | Noveta | 164483 | ||
This verse Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 But Jesus name is not Immanuel. I have asked this question before and someone told me that you go by the meaning of Immanuel not the name itself. Is there a book that is easy to read that will allow me to understand the historical background of Hebrew scripture and history. To me this goes beyond Bible interpretation. Because if any new Christian reads the Bible would say Isaiah mentions Immanuel? I have been told there is historical evidence that Jesus existed, but I have never really searched for it myself. People are asking me this questions, how do I respond, if I have never researched it myself. |

2 | Jesus or Immanuel | Rev 21:3 | Tuggy | 164514 | ||
Hi Noveta, I have on my mind a Christian classic, a booked called "The Desire of Ages" by E.G. White. It has been widely acclaimed as the best book on the life of Christ apart from the Bible. I strongly recommend it to anyone. The first chapter answers your question about why Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be called Immanuel. About your question regarding historical evidence for Jesus' existence, I recommend the DISCOVER Bible Studies found at http://www.discoveronline.org/. The fourth study deals with this very important topic and provides sources that you can find at your local library. God bless you. |
