Read that passage again closely, Isaiah is not addressing Ahaz in that prophecy, Ahaz clearly stated he wouldn't ask for a sign.
Quote:Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, saying, 11 Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven. 12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test.
Isaiah then specifically addresses the house of David.
Quote:13 Then Isaiah said: “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.
Showing that this sign was for the lineage of David. It's no coincidence that this "virgin" belonged to the house of David.
Quote:Zechariah 13
13 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
Was not Jesus this fountain?

I don't believe Jacob wrestled Jesus, if that's what you're getting at.
*edit*
I should address your comment about double prophecy, which does exist, for instance.
Quote:Matthew 11:23
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day
Jesus is addressing Capernaum, but this prophecy can also be applied to Los Angeles, a city which also exalts itself unto heaven (city of angels). It's only a matter of time before it's covered in water.
