King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Isaiah 7
READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY
Today's Reading is Isaiah 8
Isaiah 8
The prophecy in Isaiah 7.14 became true because Isaiah had a son named Maher-Shal-Hash-Baz, which meant 'quick to plunder, swift to the spoil.' Within two years, the prophect became true, and started Aram and Israel was ransacked and plundered, just as Isaiah said in Isaiah 7.16. God had use Assyria as His instrument to punish Israel and Judah.
Isaiah exhort the people of Judah to fear God. He had given three analogies (Wiesbe: Be comforted) of The people of Judah. They chose a flood instead of a peaceful river (v. 5-10); They chose a snare instead of a sanctuary (v. 11-5) and theychose darkness instead of light (v. 16-22). Instead of turning to God they turned to demons (Isaiah 8.19; Deuteronomy 18.10-12). The verse that should speak to us today is verse 13-14: 13The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread. 14He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. (NKJV). Jesus has been a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to many Jews but also to many Gentiles (1Peter 2.8).
