Today: [Isaiah 7] Isaiah: A Virgin Shall Conceive! In chapter 7 of Isaiah we find a primary Messianic prediction and one of the first mentions predicting the virgin birth of Christ. This foreknowledge given of the virgin birth is brought by Isaiah at a time when both the southern kingdom and the northern kingdom have forsaken their trust in God and called on their old enemies – the Syrians and the Assyrians to come and protect them from invaders. Syria and Assyria represent the secular and the spirit of Antichrist that John tells us is already working in the world. So beyond giving us ancient history of king Ahaz’ reign, Isaiah is speaking to us today about where do we put our trust and exposing the spirit of anti-Christ in our society that can easily influence the thinking of even the most devout believer.
