PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #27: EMMANOUEL - IMMANUEL
Key Scripture’s : Matthew 1:22-23

Understanding the Name:
THe name Immanuel (im-ma-nu-AIL) first appears in Isaiah 7:14 as part of a prophetic word that Isaiah spoke to King Ahaz of Judah (the southern kingdom) at a time when Aram and Israel (the northern kingdom) had formed a coalition against Assyria. The prophet Isaiah counseled Ahaz hot to join in their uprising against Assyria, he urged Ahaz to trust in the Lord. Then the prophet invited Ahaz to ask the Lord for a sign to confirm the prophetic word, but the king refused.
In response to Ahaz’s refusal to trust God, Isaiah proclaimed: “THerefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel” Isaiah 7:14 NIV.

Matthew’s gospel recalls Isaiah’s prophecy, applying it to the child who would soon be born to Mary (Matthew 1:22-23). The sign given hundreds of years earlier was meant for all God’s people. Infact, the Bible is nothing if not the story of God’s persistent desire to dwell with his people. In Jesus, God succeeded in a unique way, becoming a man in order to same the world not from the outside, but from the inside. Immanuel, God with us, to rescue, redeem, and restore our relationship with him.
