³ U-Isaya wathi: ‘Intombi emsulwa izathatha isisu izale indodana ezayetha ibizo ithi ngu-Imanuweli. Kodwa-ke umfana engakazi okwaneleyo ukuba ale okubi akhethe okulungileyo, ilizwe lamakhosi amabili owesabayo [i-Aramu lo-Israyeli] lizachithwa.’ (Isaya. 7:14, 16) Kuqondile ukuthi ingxenye yokuqala yesiphrofetho lesi igcwaliseka kuMesiya, futhi izikhathi ezinengi isetshenziswa njalo. (Mat. 1:23) Kodwa njengoba ‘amakhosi amabili’ la, inkosi yako-Israyeli lenkosi yase-Aramu ayengasawahluphi amaJuda ekhulwini lokuqala C.E., kutsho ukuthi ukugcwaliseka kokuqala kwesiphrofetho mayelana lo-Imanuweli kwakwenzakale ngesikhathi u-Isaya esaphila.

⁴ U-Isaya eqeda nje ukwenza isimemezelo lesi esimangalisayo, umkakhe waba lesisu wabeletha indodana wayinika ibizo wathi nguMaheri-Shalali Hashi-Bhazi. Kungenzeka ukuthi umntwana lo kwakunguye ‘u-Imanuweli,’ owayetshiwo ngu-Isaya.a Ngezikhathi okwabhalwa ngazo iBhayibhili kwakungenzeka ukuthi usana luphiwe ibizo elithile luzalwa, engxenye elokukhumbula isehlakalo esithile, kodwa abazali balo kanye lezihlobo zalo basebenzise elinye ibizo. (2 Sam. 12:24, 25) Akulabufakazi bokuthi uJesu wake wasebenzisa ibizo elithi Imanuweli.​—Bala u-Isaya 7:14; 8:3, 4.
