Summary

In this lesson, we explore the profound significance of Isaiah 7:14-16, examining this passage as two separate predictions, one about the coming Messiah’s birth (Isaiah 7:14-15) and the other about the alliance of Israel and Syria being broken, thus sparing Judah (Isaiah 7:16, where “the Child [the boy, ESV]” goes back to Isaiah’s son, 7:3). Discover how these prophecies encouraged God’s faithful in their lifetime and far beyond when the Messiah would come.
