the world in the person of a child born of a virgin: "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign, Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." (Isa. 7:14.) This we are told was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus as recorded in Matthew, where the meaning of the word Immanuel is brought to our attention as "God-with-us." (Matt. 1:23.)
This is made even stronger in Isaiah 9:6, 7:
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."
In other words, Jehovah was to come into the world through the gate of human birth as a little child, who would later be the servant foretold in other places, yet who would always be The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, identical with Jehovah.
