Not really ~ all of the prophecies of the coming Messiah do not necessarily apply to only Jesus. For example we have this in Matthew 1:23 - "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."

Ths refers to the prophesy in Isaiah 7:14 - "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

I've always thought this particular prophesy the most interesting one since it tells you about the Virgin and the Son, but it does not tell you wish one is the Messiah.

I would think that "his name is Immanuel" clearly shows that Jesus is the Messiah..."God with us".

That's not her name.

I can't believe I just read that.

Only in the corrupted translations.
