When Matthew remembered that Joseph had received a visit from an angel to give Jesus his name, he recorded it because it fulfills the mystery of the hidden bride of the Messiah.
=The bride was hidden from Israel=
:[[Eph 5:31]] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
:[[[[Eph 5:32]] This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
The church as the bride of Christ is a great mystery. It was an unexpected surprise. Modern Jews expect the Messiah to be married. He is to have a son who inherits his kingdom. Though the teaching of a bride is throughout the OT, the bride as the church is hidden in shadows and riddle.
=Matthew shares the riddle to expose the hidden bride=
Jesus was named Yeshua as the command of the angel <ref>[[Mt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS (Yeshua): for he shall save his people from their sins.</ref>. But the angel said that this fulfills the prophecy he would be called Emmanuel. <ref>[[Mt 1:22]] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, [[Mt 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.</ref>
Wait. How can this be the fulfillment of prophecy? Yeshua and Emmanuel are two different names. Is it just close enough? Nonsense!
Yeshua sounds like Yahweh with a 'sh' in the middle. THat 'sh' sound is the Hebrew letter shin ש. It is composed of a vav ו on the right and two zayins ז on the left. It's meaning is that the word of God came to earth, and when it returned, it had in increase.
