I just noticed a pattern in your thinking. You claim that Ezekiel's vision was literally enacted even though you have no proof. Likewise, you think that Jesus' name was literally Immanuel even though you have no proof that anyone ever called him that. The pattern I see is that you take mere words from the Bible and confidently assert what you think they mean even though you have no actual evidence to support your case. I find that insightful.
It's as Richard explained. The words Messiah,(Hebrew) Christ (Greek) means 'Anointed'. There have been numberal anointed ones throughout the OT. Moses, David, Hezekiel and even Cyrus of Perisa. Therefore Messiah/Christ isn't a name, but a title. In the Hebrew context of names every name has a meaning behind that name.

Incorrect.
Messiah means ''Anointed of YHVH''.
Kristos means ''anointed''.
Can you see the difference?
I really tried to help by showing an example how the name of Isaiah means ''salvation of YHVH''
The title name Messiah refers to a one off person who will alone hold the title Messiah...... All other people who were anointed by priests and prophets such as King Saul,Sammuel and David never were called Messiah.......
The name title Messiah is held in reserve for the only begotten Son of God........
Richard has no authority on this matter.

I didn't realize you were referring to my comment because you didn't quote it. Sorry.
Now that I've got my orientation I can respond to your statement. You said "It's you who is thinking that you are seeing a pattern from your way of thinking of how you are interpretating me... Can you see that?"
Actually, I'm not so sure I can answer that. It's pretty convoluted. What is the way of thinking that you think I think I'm using when I am interpreting what you wrote?

That's correct. The contraction Yah from "YHVH" is appended to the word that means salvation. So the name Isaiah really does mean "salvation of YHVH."
THis is not true about the word messiah. There is no contraction of the divine name in that word. I explained this in a post #3 but you never responded. Here is what I told you: THe word messiah does not mean "anointed of YHVH." The word is spelled Mem Shin Yod Chet - there is no reference to God or El or Yah in that word at all.
Do you now see your error?

And as I said, you got the meaning of Isaiah correct, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the meaning of the word "messiah" because "messiah" has no element from the divine name.
Yes, in the NT the "name title Messiah" refers to Christ, because there is only one person who would be the Son of God and Messiah. But that is supported by the text of the NT, not the meaning of the word "messiah."
I am not claiming any authority. The facts are all the authority anyone needs in these matters, and you have no facts supporting your assertions.

You making something out of nothing. Every high preist was 'anointed' of God (Exodus 30:22-25). As in the case with Cyrus as being the anointed of God. The term "mashiach" literally means "the anointed one," and refers to the ancient practice of anointing kings with oil when they took the throne.
Also according to Daniel 9:26 of the messiah be cut off if we take the time table and view Dan.11:22 about the High Priest Onias III as being the 'anointed one' that were to be cut off as indicated in Dan.8:10. Then mashiach (messiah) is referring to the anointed one.
And as to Immanuel ascribed to the child in the time of Ahaz as God with us. That's not uncommon consider that the three children of Hosea was given names that was far from the child itself.
