172. Isaiah 7:14 “to be born of a virgin”
No mention made of a virgin and the prophecy was to be fulfilled in the times of King Ahaz who died many centuries before Jesus was born.
173. Isaiah 7:14 “to be Emmanuel – God with us”
This was an encouragement to King Ahaz that he and his people will survive the onslaught of the Arameans and subsequently the Assyrians. The child was named Emmanuel as a sign of God’s favor to the Judean kingdom.
