What does Isaiah 7:14 mean?

Answer 1

idk what is it?

Answer 2

Here is good news for anyone fearing that the invaders will put an end to the Davidic line of kings. “Immanuel” means “With Us Is God.” God is with Judah and will not allow his covenant with David to be nullified. In addition, Ahaz and his people are told not only what Jehovah will do but also when he will do it. Before the boy Immanuel is old enough to distinguish between good and bad, the enemy nations will be destroyed. And this proves true!

The Bible does not reveal whose child Immanuel is. But since the young Immanuel is to serve as a sign and Isaiah later states that he and his children “are as signs,” Immanuel may be a son of the prophet. (Isaiah 8:18) Perhaps Jehovah leaves the identity of Immanuel in Ahaz’ day uncertain so as not to distract later generations from the Greater Immanuel. Who is that?

Outside of the book of Isaiah, the name Immanuel occurs only once in the Bible, at Matthew 1:23. Jehovah inspired Matthew to apply the prophecy of Immanuel’s birth to the birth of Jesus, the rightful Heir to the throne of David. The birth of the first Immanuel was a sign that God had not forsaken the house of David. Likewise, the birth of Jesus, the Greater Immanuel, was a sign that God had not forsaken mankind or his Kingdom covenant with David’s house. With Jehovah’s chief representative now among mankind, Matthew could truly say, ‘With us is God.’ Today, Jesus rules as heavenly King.

Answer 3

The Sign of Immanuel

Jehovah remains faithful toward his covenant with David. A sign was offered, a sign will be given! Isaiah continues: “Jehovah himself will give you men a sign: 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.”—Isaiah 7:14-16.

(Matthew 28:20) Surely, God’s people have added reason to cry out boldly: “With us is God!”

Answer 4

That king Ahaz should have trusted God to provide a sign of his choosing. He did not, so God decided to sent a sign anyways-that sign that Ahaz will see is that an unmarried woman (presumed to be a Virgin, because she is not married) will give brith to a son name Emmau-el. Also by time this son reachs the age of accountability (8?10?12?) the Assyrians will no longer be a threat to Judah.


This miracle that occured in the time of Ahaz, told to him by Isaiah Ben Amoz, is again repeated a second time for Jesus and his mother Mary, who was also a Virgin.

Answer 5

This scripture was forshadowing the birth of Christ. See Isaiah 9:6, Imanual means "with us is God" See Mathew 1:23,

Answer 6

The SIGN would be chosen by God Himself. The word LORD speaks of the sovereignty of God, of His great control over all His creation. The pronoun HIMSELF adds an absolute certainty to the impending sign. he Hebrew word rendered VIRGIN means " a young woman of marriageable age ". But the Septuagint translates the Hebrew word with a Greek word that specially means virgin.

Answer 7

Therefore the Lord himself will give you [c] a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and [d] will call him Immanuel. [e] 15 He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right.

I like this much of it better. Isaiah was a prophet before the birth of Jesus, he was prophesying the birth of Christ. Was this a trick question?

Answer 8

well now, that really depends on which bible you're referring to, which language it was originally written in, by whom, when and how many translations it has undergone over the past 2,000 years. Supposedly God will give the hebrews a sign. Mary supposedly is preggers by God himself (is that considered adultery considering she was already promised to Joseph?). Of course, all this was pre-10 commandments when the Jews are ordered not to covet another man's wife.....

Answer 9

Hello. This verse of scripture is foretelling of a Virgin would would give birth to a manchild, such a one of whom was not born of flesh or the will of man but of God. It's the foretelling of a miracle and holy child coming, the child being very God yet unstained from sin so He could be the Savior of the world. This, I believe, was not about anyone who lived at the time or would shortly, but rather about Jesus Christ the Son of God taking on human flesh to walk in our shoes on this sod. It's about how He would crush satan's head whilst the enemy would merely bruise His heel. The seed of a woman coming to redeem mankind from the fallen, sinful, and utterly unregenerate spiritual condition he is born in outside of God and salvation. It's about the Messiah coming for redemption's sake, fulflilling the purpose and plan of God the Father Almighty. He is the way to heaven.

Answer 10

This verse is one that is often used to point toward the coming Messiah. Mary would be the virgin (never had sex) who was with child. You can read in the Gospel of Luke about the Holy Spirit coming upon her and essentially impregnating her. Jesus (the Christ) would be the son of Mary. She was to call Him "Immanuel" which is a Hebrew name meaning "God with us."

In short, this was a prophecy told 500 years before Jesus birth that foretold how He would come in to the world.

Answer 11

The prophet Isaiah was foretelling the birth of Jesus. He was giving specific signs of His coming. ie virgin, name Immanuel.

He also told of Jesus' Deity by using the name Immanuel which means "God with Us".
