Immanuel, God With Us
In the Gospel of Matthew we find the following lines from Isaiah’s prophecy applied to Jesus, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel which means, God with us.” Yet the context of that original passage appears to be about a child who was to be born during Isaiah’s own lifetime. The hosts use this example to discuss the fact that many Old Testament promises have an initial temporary fulfillment, along with an ultimate and eternal fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
