Is the Immanuel prophecy in Isaiah 7:14 understood as a reference to Hezekiah or Jesus?

And what evidence is offered in support of each view?

If the trinity is important, why is it not clearly mentioned by any prophet including Jesus?

Thesis: The Quran contains prophetic verses and symbolic patterns (including the 50 stars) that foreshadow the rise of the USA, thereby implying an omniscient author.

The Quran is a book of signs and the arrangement of its verses is said to be divinely ordained; every verse is deliberately placed in its specific position. 

In Chapter “The Star verse 50”, the text mentions "the first ’Âd." The explicit use of the "first" necessitates the existence of a "second" or "later" counterpart that shares its characteristics.

The first ’Âd was depicted as a global superpower, unparalleled in its time and characterized by architectural loftiness, industrial mastery, a materialistic reliance on earthly knowledge, and military exceptionalism (as detailed in verses 89:7-8, 89:11, 41:15, 26:128-134, and 40:83). These traits closely mirror the modern profile of the United States. The U.S., characterized by its 50 states and 50 stars flag (Chapter the Star verse 50), can be viewed as the fulfillment of the "Second ’Âd" implied by the Quranic text. The "First ’Âd" is encoded at exactly Verse 50 in a chapter titled "The Star,"creating a precise numerical and symbolic prophecy.

Further arguments that supports this prophecy:

1. The chapter begins (53:1-18) by validating the Prophet’s vision and divine inspiration, ensuring that the verses (including Verse 50) is rooted in absolute truth. The ending of the chapter (53:56) "This is a warner like the warners of old" transforms the text from a historical recount into a forward-looking prophecy.
2. The opening of Surah Hud (11:1), the chapter named after the Prophet sent to the people of ’Âd: ”[This is] a Book whose verses are perfected and then detailed from one who is Wise and All-Aware." Perfected and Detailed: This opening indicates that the arrangement of verses, the choice of words, and the numerical distribution are not random, but part of a precise "divine engineering." The Attribute of (The All-Aware): Linking this structure to the name "The All-Aware" suggests that the Author of this system knows the secrets of the future.
3. The "Uncle Sam" : The Quran identifies ’Âd as the "successors after the people of Noah" (7:69). Noah’s primary successor and son was Sam (Arabic of Shem). So the American personification "Uncle Sam" (especially in reference to the government and military) serves as a unconscious fulfilment of the second ’Âd. The "New World": the pre-flood era was known as the "Old World." America is historically and globally defined as the "New World." This mirrors the first ’Âd, who were the great power to rise in the fresh start following Noah's flood.
4. The Name "US" in Scripture: In the Latin Vulgate Bible (the language of the Western Roman empire), the name of the ancestor and land of the people of ’Âd or Âd itself (Uz) is written as Us. Genesis 10:23: The sons of Aram: Us and Hul…..https://vulgate.org/ot/genesis_10.htm  Even some historical theories, such as those by Tse Tsan-tai, further link these descendants to the native peoples of the Americas.
