Isaiah Chapter 7 (Bible Study)

Prophecy of Immanuel and Judah's Judgment.
Isaiah 7:1–16 predicts the virgin birth of Immanuel and the impending Assyrian invasion of Judah during King Ahaz's reign, marked by a civil war and alliances between Israel and Syria that instill fear in Judah. Despite Ahaz's refusal to ask for a sign from God, Isaiah is instructed to deliver the prophecy of a child to be born of a virgin, affirming God's presence and salvation. This prophecy reinforces that trust in God's word stands on a firm foundation, as exemplified by its fulfillment in the New Testament with the birth of Jesus Christ.
