What do you think about immanuel?

[John K]

Hi! I'm looking some information about Immanuel he is mentionated in the bible as the next messiah. I was thinking that he could be the messiah ... Or the opposite : the anti-christ..

What do you think?

Matthew 1:23
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us

It also means "he who is with god". It's generally interpreted as a prophecy of Jesus' birth.

Hi! I'm looking some information about Inmanuel he is mentionated in the bible as the next messiah. I was thinking that he could be Lucifer.. but I'm not sure... What do you think?

Matthew 1:23

The supposed 'prophecy' is a quotation from this, which makes it very explicit it's not even a prophecy (rather just a consolidation towards Ahaz about his progeny), it was literally about something written in the present moment of the story being the awaited birth of Ahaz's child:

Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, “Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.”
But Ahaz said, “I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test.”
Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also?
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. He will be eating curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right,
for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
The Lord will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah—he will bring the king of Assyria.”
- Isaiah 7:10-17

And who is Ahaz's son? yes Hezekiah. No mystery here people.

Also the word Virgin is a mistranslation, when the word in the Hebrew means "young woman" not virgin.
