Isaiah 7:8-9 NIV

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 7:5-14

The Birth of Christ in Isaiah Isaiah 7:5-14 ; Isaiah 9:6-7 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Book of Revelation opens thus: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ." "We see no reason why the whole Bible is not a "revelation of Jesus Christ." We see no reason why the Book of Isaiah is not a "revelation of Jesus Christ." We know that Isaiah, the same as other Old Testament Books, carries much by way of history, and yet we contend that the history of the Bible is there because of its particular relationship to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 7:1-9

God Appeals to Ahaz Asking Him To Trust Him (Isaiah 7:1-9 ). Syria and Israel, in seeking to join an alliance against Assyria, called on Judah to join them, and when Ahaz was reluctant, determined to bring him to heel. (As far as we know up to this point Judah had not had to pay tribute to Assyria, probably because of the remoteness of its capital). But Yahweh tells Ahaz that he is right to reject any part in the alliance, but must rather trust in Him. Unfortunately, and very foolishly,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 7:1-16

Isaiah 7:1-Nehemiah : . Isaiah Gives Ahaz the Encouraging Sign of Immanuel when he is Dismayed by the Alliance of Syria and Ephraim against him.— For the historical circumstances see pp. 59, 70f. Apart from Isaiah 7:1, which is derived from 2 Kings 16:5 and is out of chronological order, this section seems to have been written by an editor on the basis of Isaiah’ s autobiography (contrast the 1st person of the preceding chapter with the 3rd of this). The alarm, described in the picturesque... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 7:8

Is Damascus; or rather, shall be Damascus; for the verb is not expressed in the Hebrew text, and therefore may be either way supplied. The sense is, Damascus shall still continue to be the capital and chief city of the kingdom of Syria; and therefore Jerusalem shall not be taken, nor become a part of Rezin’s dominion; but he shall be kept within his own bounds, and be king of Damascus only, and not, as he hopes, of Jerusalem. Within threescore and five years; to be computed either, 1. From the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 7:9

Is Samaria; or rather, shall be Samaria; and the sense is the same as in the foregoing verse, Samaria shall continue to be the chief city of the kingdom of Israel, and Pekah shall not conquer Jerusalem, as he hoped and designed to do. Ye shall not be established; if you do not believe this and the other promises of God, but, in distrust of God, shall seek to the Assyrians for succour, to which I perceive you are inclined, instead of that deliverance and settlement which you expect, you shall be... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-9

FEARS AND COMFORTSIsaiah 7:1-9. And it came to pass, in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, &c.The historical statements [778] in these verses afford illustrations of spiritual truths.[778] For a statement of these circumstances see following paper: THE VIRGIN’S SON.I. The powers of evil are confederate against the Lord’s people (Isaiah 7:1-2; Isaiah 7:6). By the combined forces of evil, God’s chosen ones have always been assailed. The conflict began in Eden, and has continued ever since.... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 7:3-25

ISAIAH’S INTERVIEW WITH AHAZIsaiah 7:3-25. Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, &c.In this interview of Isaiah with Ahaz we have an instance—I. Of God’s efforts to turn men from ruinous courses. God is the great Lawgiver, and the Judge before whose bar all impenitent transgressors of His law will have to stand. Absolute inflexibility is necessarily His characteristic in both these capacities. But these are not the only capacities He seeks to sustain to us. It is His ambition to be the Saviour of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 7:9

FAITH, THE CONDITION OF FIRMNESSIsaiah 7:9. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.“Established” is what every man wishes to be—fixed in fact and in feeling; established like a great oak which, because its roots take fast hold of the soil, is able to grow broader and higher and more luxuriant year by year. Such growth is impossible to a tree that is frequently transplanted. Notwithstanding—nay, in perfect harmony with the desire for progress that is in us all, we all desire... read more

Chapter 7Now Uzziah is dead and his grandson Ahaz is reigning.It came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, the king of Judah, that Rezin was the king of Syria, and Pekah was the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel ( Isaiah 7:1 ),So Pekah was ruling in Israel. He had assassinated the previous king. And Syria and Israel, the Northern Kingdom, had confederated together to attack Judah, the Southern Kingdom. And so theycame up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 7:1-25

Isaiah 7:1 . In the days of Ahaz, the second or the third year of his reign. Chapters 5. and 6. are therefore out of place. Isaiah 7:6 . Let us go up against Judah and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal. The rabbins make him to be a relative of the reigning family in Samaria. They gave away David’s throne before they had conquered it! Isaiah 7:8 . The head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. But Jerusalem now had the Lord for her head. Within... read more
