Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Gobbet Points
•Signs of God's presence
•Israel's Sovereign Himself would give Ahaz and the house of David a sign that He was with His people
• the sign was no longer a inducement of faith but a confirmation of divine displeasure
•the Hebrew word for "virgin" is *Alma* which means a young woman of marriageable age. However the word never describes a married woman in the Old Testament
• Immanuel is sometimes regarded to be Isaiah's son who is believed to have fulfilled the prophecy
• More important is that modern scholars argue that there was no initial fulfillment of this prophecy in Isaiah's day
•Conservative scholars believe that the only fulfillment was in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ
More points can be added on controversy of Immanuel. Explain meaning of the name as well.
