<< Isaiah's Family [Isaiah 8] >>

The prophet Isaiah and his wife centered their life on serving Jehovah. Isaiah was a prophet, and it may well be that his wife had her own prophetic assignments, since she is called “the prophetess.” (Isa. 8:1-4) As a couple, Isaiah and his wife were evidently focused on their worship of Jehovah. What an excellent example they set for married couples today! w21 nov #46 p.16 par 9

The situation greatly frightened Ahaz, despite Isaiah’s assurance that Rezin of Syria and Pekah of Israel need cause no fear. (Isa 7:3-12; 8:6, 7)

"And Jehovah proceeded to say to Isaiah: “Go out, please, to meet A´haz, you and She´ar-ja´shub your son, to the end of the conduit of the upper pool by the highway of the laundryman’s field. 4 And you must say to him, ‘Watch yourself and keep undisturbed. Do not be afraid, and do not let your heart itself be timid because of the two tail ends of these smoking logs, because of the hot anger of Re´zin and Syria and the son of Rem·a·li´ah, 5 for the reason that Syria [with] E´phra·im and the son of Rem·a·li´ah* has advised what is bad against you, " Isaiah 7: 3-5 Read Psalms 121

"[Jehovah] invites us to reach out for his blessing. We read: “‘Test me out, please, . . .’ Jehovah of armies says, ‘to see whether I will not open to you the floodgates of the heavens and pour out on you a blessing until there is nothing lacking.’” (Mal. 3:10) We show our deep appreciation and gratitude when we accept Jehovah’s generous offer." - w16 12/15 p. 24 par 3

Many many prophecies in the bible have a DOUBLE or duel application. In eschatology scholars refer to first (early) and a later (or "sensus plenior" ) fulfillment . This is the case with this prophecy in Isaiah.

ISAIAH 7: 14
Look! The maiden herself will actually become pregnant, and she is giving birth to a son, and she will certainly call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey he will eat by the time that he knows how to reject the bad and choose the good. For before the boy will know how to reject the bad and choose the good, the ground of whose two kings you are feeling a sickening dread will be left entirely.”—Isa 7:13-16.

WHO WAS IMMANUEL?

In it's first fulfillment, it is possible that the fortold child COULD have been the second son of the prophet Ma′her-shal′al-hash-baz *[see Isaiah 8:1]. The bible is not specific but Immanuel is mentioned as being born as an assurance regarding Judah's "two king" Syro-Israelite threat of King Pekah and Syrian King Rezin. "the newborn boy [Maher-shalal-hash-baz [Isaiah 8:1, 2]] will serve as signs that Assyria will soon plunder [...] Syria and Israel.

How soon? Before the boy is able to say the first words that most babies learn—“Father” and “Mother.” Such an exact prediction should build the people’s confidence in Jehovah. Or it could cause some to ridicule Isaiah and his sons. Whatever the case, Isaiah’s prophetic words come true.—2 Kings 17:1-6."

WHO WAS THE MAIDEN?

In it's early fulfillment this may well have refered to Isaiah's wife. It should be noted, that the Hebrew word here translated “MAIDEN” is not bethu·lah′, meaning, specifically, “virgin,” but is ʽal·mah′, having a broader reference to a YOUNG WOMAN, who could be either a virgin maiden or a recently married woman. ʽAl·mah′ as a common noun also occurs in six other texts, more than one of which specifically involves virgin maidens.—Ge 24:43 (compare vs 16); Ex 2:8; Ps 68:25; Pr 30:19; Ca 1:3; 6:8.

CAN MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS ALSO BE REFERRED TO AS AN "ALMAH"?

The word employed in Isaiah 7:14 is "ALMAH" this word , as noted above is a broad term which can refer to a young girl who may or may not be a virgin, thus Isaiah 7:14 can apply to Mary the mother of Jesus. Indeed the bible writer Matthew applied the prophecy of Immanuel’s birth to the birth of Jesus, the rightful Heir to the throne of David. (Matthew 1:18-23). In line with Mary's own words that prior to Jesus' conception she (Mary) had not had sexual intercourse, Matthew rightly used the more specific Greek word "par·the′nos"

As the bible Encylopedia Insight on the Scriptures, Vol I p. 1188 comments

"In the case of Mary there was no question about her being a virgin when she became “pregnant by holy spirit,” both Matthew and Luke recording this historical fact. (Mt 1:18-25; Lu 1:30-35) “All this actually came about for that to be fulfilled which was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet,” Matthew observed. It was a sign that identified the long-awaited Messiah. So in keeping with these facts, Matthew’s Gospel (quoting Isa 7:14) uses the Greek word par·the′nos, meaning “virgin,” to translate ʽal·mah′, saying: “Look! The virgin [par·the′nos] will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel.” (Mt 1:22, 23) In no way was this taking liberties or distorting the text. Over a century earlier, the Jewish translators of the Greek Septuagint had also used par·the′nos in rendering Isaiah 7:14." {end quote}



*Some have suggested that in the type back there “Immanuel” was a third son of Isaiah, perhaps by a Jewish maiden who may have become a second wife of the prophet. Certain Jewish commentators endeavored to apply the prophecy to the birth of Ahaz’ son Hezekiah. This, however, is ruled out, since the prophecy was uttered during Ahaz’ reign (Isa 7:1), making Hezekiah at least nine years old at the time.—2Ki 16:2; 18:1, 2.
