Then, examine the nature of the sign.
1. A young woman is pregnant and is to give birth
2. She will give a particular name to her child (Immanuel)
3. BEFORE THE CHILD IS WEANED the Assyrians will no longer be a  power.
 
The sequence in which prophesy is given as well as the prophesy itself  
demand a nearly immediate fulfilment.

George,
 
Who is your candidate for "Immanuel" ? 
Rabbinical Jewish interpretation has proposed Isaiah's son or Hezekiah. 
Neither interpretation works any better or is superior to the Jesus  
interpretation.
 
For the Jews for Jesus take on the passage see
