 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 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, identical with Jehovah.
