Isaiah 8

In Isaiah 8:8 we are introduced to the name Immanuel. In this verse it comes at the end of a passage in which God proclaims his future judgment on Judah. We see immanuel again at the end of verse 10. This passage concludes with the declaration of the LORD's protection of Judah. So God is present with his people as they face judgment and when he extends protection. That seems to indicate that both of those extremes fit in how God lives and works among his people.
