Emmanuel (Iz 7, 14) i Jezus (Mt 1, 23): mesjański znak dziecka

Abstract

The Book of Isaiah is often called “the fifth Gospel” among Christians. It is not because of the embrace of St Jerome’s opinion, or because of the literal meaning of the prophet’s name, which translates to: “God redeems”. It is the content of the book itself that has been inspiring generations of Christians to understand it in such a way. This article is a study of a group of texts from Isa. 7, 10–25; 9, 5–6; 11, 1–11, interconnected by the concept of Messianism, which centers on the figure of a royal descendant from the house of David. The article itself is not a typical exegetic study; instead, by making use of the numerous works of modern exegesis, it once again takes on the fragments of the aforementioned texts, those which have a key meaning for the messianic concept. The same analysis shall be conducted of Matt. 1, 23 in which this kind of messianic concept is brought up through a quotation from Isa. 7, 14.
