Isaiah 7 14 is a double prophecy
According to Isaiah 7 written about 735 BC a virgin was going to give birth before Pekah son of Remaliah, who was king of northern Israel, and ruled from Samaria, and Rezin who was king of Aram Syria, and ruled from Damascus were both dead. They died 732 BC in kings/chronicles. It was saying once they were dead their kingdoms will no longer be a threat to you people in the southern kingdom of Judah so I (God) will give you a sign they will be dead soon. In the next verse a woman gives birth naturally not a virgin, the kids name is (some weird name) not Immanuel, and the age of the two kids is different, before choose right/wrong in ch 7 vs before can talk in ch 8. No the prophecy was not fulfilled in ch 8 (some commentaries say it was). I believe a virgin gave birth at Isaiah's time, and then the NT reveals it was a double prophecy about Jesus also.
