There Is a Fountain Filled With Blood
The name Immanuel (or Emmanuel) is only mentioned in the Bible three times.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
~Isaiah 7:14
This verse from Isaiah is referenced in Matthew 1:23 --
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Isaiah 8:8
And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
[Isaiah 8:8 describes an impending invasion by Assyria, portrayed as a devastating flood or a bird of prey overwhelming Judah, but ending with the powerful declaration, "O Immanuel!" meaning "God with us," signifying that while the land would suffer greatly, God's presence protects it, pointing to ultimate hope and the promised Messiah.]
