In ISIS UNVEILED, HPB makes a few references to and interpretaions of the
Prophecy in Isaiah. Her interpretaion sees the prophesized child as Hezekiah
and the world Almeh as 'temple-women'.

On other NG's I have been having a debate about this. The argument put
forward to me says that Almeh means virgin and the prophecy was referring to
Jesus. I agree with HPB, but the hebrew scholars are saying that Almeh does
not mean temple-women.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Especially given that a complete Isaiah
was part of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
