Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 NIV
I did a little research on this verse because I was curious about how the NIV version read. Two things stood out to me. One is that the word "you" in this verse is in the plural. The sign is for everyone because God's salvation is for everyone.
The other was how it said that he, the son, shall be called Immanuel. There are several references to who will call him Immanuel. One of those is the plural, "they". Again, Immanuel is for all, everyone will call him God with us...again in the plural.
This verse is inclusive of everyone. God sent his salvation for us all. So go tell everyone that God is with us!
