Isaiah 7:14 depicts a prophetic oracle delivered during a crisis in 734-733 BCE, when Syria and the northern kingdom of Israel formed a coalition that threatened the kingdom of Judah.
Thank you for explaining the variations of this verse. It is my belief that Isaiah 7:14 referred firstly to a child born in Isaiah's day. Later, Matthew, influenced by the Septuagint, made an interesting connection between Yahushua (Jesus) and this prophecy (Mat. 1:23). It was like Matthew was saying, "Look, something similar to Yahushua's birth happened in Isaiah's day."

In other words, a “telescoping prophecy”
Exactly.
