King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Isaiah 7
READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY
Today's Reading is Isaiah 7.1-17
Isaiah 7.1-17
Syria and Ephraim (Northern Kingdom) had declared war on Judah. in 735/734 B.C. Jerusalem was under attack by Pekah of Israel and Rezin of Aram (Syria) but they could not overpower them. God, through Isaiah spoke to King Ahaz of Judah (the Southern Kingdom) giving him assurance that the alliance between Pekah and Rezin would not conquer Jerusalem. Isaiah said to Ahaz "If you do not stand firm in your faith you will not stand at all. Isaiah challenged Ahaz to ask for a sign that Jerusalem would not be conquered. Ahaz did not want a sign, being the hypocrite that he was. Isaiah said in verse 14 'Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and his name shall be Immanuel 'God be with us'.
This prophecy was fulfilled in Isaiah's day, because it indicated that a virgin (a young woman, 'almah Hebrew word meaning a woman about to be married) betrothed to Isaiah because his first wife had died. The second wife would have a son as a sign that Israel and Aram would not conquer Jerusalem but they themselves would be devastated before the child is old enough to know the difference between right from wrong, according to Jewish customs would be 12 or 13. This would bring us to the year 722 B.C. when Samaria and Syria would be overruned by the Assyrians! This child is a foreshadow of the Messiah, Jesus Christ in Matthew 1.22-23.
