1st Coming - Understand Prophecy by -Yamartino- 1 Para
Chapter of  60

As we will see with the other prophecies pointing to Christ's appearance, there is no way that this prophecy could have been understood before its fulfillment. If we had clung to the thinking that the sign from "the Lord himself" was to be great, that news of the virgin birth was to be heard, or that someone named or called "Immanuel" was to appear, we would have missed the Christ (33:24)
