Septuagint?not all 'bibles' translate it to say 'virgin'.

No his entire life didn't have to be prophesized for him to the Moshiach but he did have to accomplish certain things to qualify as being the Moshiach ben David, which, as i have already stated, he did not do.
The Septuagint...is mistranslated in many places and the 70 jewish leaders who translated it did that on purpose for, primarily, political reasons dealing with the threat of culturation and assimilation from the ptolemic greeks.
Your right tho...the correct translation is a "young woman" who, based upon the hebrew, will have known the "touch" of a man.
By the way...i think deut. already posted this...there is also, supposedly, supposed to be a Moshiach before the Moshiac ben David, the Moshiac of the house of Joshua, who's supposed be some great military leader and defeat the enemies of Israel...not to mention the prophet elijah is supposed to show up before either of these 2 dudes.
