(Isa 7:14) So, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.
Hebrew translation of Immanuel means "God with us."

Yes. This is one of over 300 prophecies of the Messiah's coming. The Book of Isaiah is the source of quite a few of them.

easily, no. The gospels have been written to make it sound like Jesus fulfilled prophecy. There are 3 person-friendly kinds of prophecies in those lists. First are the passages from the previous testomony that have been in no way meant as prophecy yet have been echoed interior the gospels. The passages from Psalms are the main glaring examples of that. No respected Bible student claims that the Psalms have been meant as prophecy; they have been needless to say songs of compliment. 2nd are the prophecies that have been easily approximately something else. a lot of them have been bearing directly to the country of Israel, no longer some Messiah, yet Christian translations of particular passages incorporate some somewhat self-serving be conscious options that make it sound like the passage refers to a individual somewhat than a rustic. The meant virgin start prophecy replaced right into some issue that replaced into happening at that factor, no longer some Messianic parent that does no longer be born for hundreds of years. all and sundry who reads it in context can tell that, yet apparently maximum Christians in no way hardship with the context or have desperate that they already comprehend what it skill so they do no longer might desire to word what the context is. third are memories that have been needless to say invented to make it sound like Jesus replaced into the prophesied Messiah. the main glaring occasion is that the authors of Luke and Matthew have been given Jesus born in Bethlehem yet raised in Nazareth by 2 thoroughly diverse and incompatible memories. that's extremely glaring that the memories have been in simple terms invented to electrify their aim marketplace.

That is how the New Testament writers took it: as a prophecy concerning the birth of Jesus Christ. Not that Isaiah was aware of that, but Jesus's followers read Isaiah under the light of Jesus's life many many years after Jesus was on earth. It's a prophecy fulfilled in hindsight.

Yes, and its fulfillment is recorded at: Matthew 1:23, & Luke 1:35.

As it is quoted in Matthew chapter 1 as applying to the birth of Jesus, I would say yes.

This identity of Jesus Christ as Immanuel did not mean he was the incarnation of God, ‘God in the flesh,’ which proponents of the Trinity teaching claim is implied by the meaning of Immanuel, namely, “With Us Is God.” It was a common practice among Jews to embody the word “God,” even “Jehovah,” in Hebrew names. Even today Immanuel is the proper name of many men; none of whom are incarnations of God.

Yes it is. There are many prophesies in the old testament concerning Jesus.

Yes it is. (Answer to question)
The following is in response to the first answer above:
Jehovah's Witnesses have no problem with anything written in the Bible, because we study to have the correct understanding. (2 Timothy 2:15)
Yes Immanuel means "God is with us" and through Jesus he was, not literally, but in a representitive sense. As we read in John 7:29 - "But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me."
Also John 16:27, 28 - "For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
And again in John 17:7, 8 - "Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me."
Also note 2 Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:15; & Hebrews 1:3

Imagine that, a prophecy in a book being fulfilled in later chapters (or "Books" if you want to get technical).
Let me pause for a moment at how unremarkable this is.

yes, the most often repeated prophesy regarding Jesus' birth.
