Emmanuel
(Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל) meaning, "God with us"; also romanized Imanu'el; is a Hebrew name which appears in the Book of Isaiah as a sign that God will protect the House of David.
The Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:22–23) interprets this as a prophecy of the birth of the Messiah and the fulfilment of Scripture in the person of Jesus. Immanuel "God (El) with us" is one of the "symbolic names" used by Isaiah and has come to be read as a prophecy of the Christ in Christian theology following Matthew 1:23, where Immanuel (Ἐμμανουὴλ) is glossed as μεθ ἡμῶν ὁ Θεός (KJV: "God with us").

Enuma Elish
The Enuma Elish is the Babylonian creation account. It tells an account of creation that begins when Apsu (father - fresh water) and Tiamat (mother - ocean water) mingle and create a family of gods. This family is noisy and so Apsu decides to kill them. Tiamat disagrees and so begins a story of anger, power and violence that ends up with many gods killed and their blood being used to make humans, as their servants.
