Did you read the footnote 7 for Verse 14? almah is the word.

Yes I did. The footnote also says that Isaiah might not have understood the full latent force of his own words. This seems to tell me that Isaiah himself was not aware that his immediate near term prophecy was going to apply to a longer term prophecy hundreds of years later.

Well, if this is so, it is very difficult to blame Jews for not accepting this as referring to the Messiah. If Isaiah himself was not aware of its full impact as your footnote says, all we have are Christians who will have to explain to Jews what their own scripture really means.
