Afaik, Emanuel was the name of the messiah in some prophecy of the old testament.
And Jesus is not called Emanuel, this is one of the reasons Jesus is not recognised as the Messiah in Judaism. |
I believe Emanuel is interpreted as meaning "God is With us". That is why the song is sung. This is simply a christian worshipping hymn, not biblical scripture necessarily.
