Muffled
Jesus in me
They were told to ask for a sign. Thus he was told to go into the Prophetess. She birthed Emmanuel as a SIGN. His name = God is with us. A sign for them and the warring people.
7:1 tells us we are talking about Isaiah and Ahaz.
7:10-13 tells us God tells Ahaz to ask for a sign, but Azah feels this would be an imposition.
7:14 tells us THEN God gives AHAZ a sign - Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin/maiden shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel.
NOTE - the sign is for Ahaz and Isaiah!!!!! NOT SOME FUTURE DATE, OR PEOPLE!
8:1 Here he is told to record concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. His ceremonial name.
8:3 He wrote - And I (Isaiah)went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz (Fast to the plunder, swift to the prey.)
8:8 Tells us HE, EMMANUEL.
8:18 Here ISAIAH tells us HE and his CHILDREN are for SIGNS, just as it says up in 7:13-14 and 8:3!
Isa 8:18 Behold, I (Isaiah) and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Isa 7:8 even gives us a time - ...,and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
If you look up Emmanuel in a Strong's, for instance, it will tell you Emmanuel is the name of Isaiah's son - also called Mahershalalhashbaz - Isa 8:3!

There are no verses that say this.
First of all it does not say that Isiah will be given the sign only Ahaz. Secondly the sign is given to Ahaz but not one that he wants but one that God chooses and therefore it is not necessary for the sign to be directly pertininent to Ahaz.
There is no connection between this name and Immanuel.
That is what Mahershalalhashbaz is. However Immanuel is not named as a son of Isaiah. One must obsevere that one son is named but Immanuel isn't. I would expect if he were a son of Isaiah that he would be named as one just as his other son was.
I believe this is a separate prophecy before the sign.
I believe an attribution by Stong does not trump the word of God.
