The prophet Isaiah prophesied that a maiden ('almah') would one day bear a son and call His name Immanuel (translated "God with us") Isaiah 7:14.
Many years later, an angel spoke to Joseph in a dream informing him of Mary's role in the nativity and this same prediction was refered to. Matthew 1:20-25

2. At what age did Mary's son officially receive the name Jesus?

Answer: Eight days old

An angel of the Lord told Joseph in a dream that the Son of Mary should be called Jesus and so on the eighth day when the custom of circumcision was performed, He was given the name that was ordained for Him..
Luke 2: 21.

4. Jesus at His birth was wrapped in swaddling cloths and placed in a manger because Mary went into labour and there was no room at the inn for them.

Answer: True

Caesar Agustus commanded every one to be regestered in their own city and so Joseph left Galilee and took Mary with him to Bethlehem. They could not find a place to stay (all were booked up) and since Mary's contractions had started, she had no choice but to wrap Him in swaddling cloths and place Him in a manger. Luke 2:1-7.

Matthew 1:20-21
