"This is a study of the relationship between Isaiah'S Immanuel prophecy and its "fulfillment" in the Gospel of Matthew. rather than read Isaiah through the lens of Matthew's gospel, we will begin by studying Isaiah in Isaiah's own historical context. This includes the study of the political situation that lies behind Isaiah 7, Isaiah's use of symbolism, and the possible identity of Immanuel in the time of Isaiah. Then I will show how Matthew uses this Prophecy, which was fulfilled in the time of Isaiah, in order to teach his readers about the divine mission of Jesus Christ." [AUTHOR]
