Immanuel
עִמָּנוּ אֵל
'With us — God' — Isaiah's sign-name, fulfilled at Bethlehem.
Jewish reading anchors the sign in Ahaz's crisis — a child marking God's deliverance timeline; Christian reading hears Matthew's fulfillment: presence itself born. Matthew brackets his whole Gospel with it — Immanuel at the birth, 'I am with you always' at the end.
First occurrence
Isa 7:14 — The sign to the house of David
Key passages
Isa 8:8 — 'The breadth of your land, O Immanuel'
Matt 1:23 — 'They shall call His name Immanuel — God with us'
Matt 28:20 — 'I am with you always' — the Gospel's last word keeps the name's promise
