The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:14

The presence of God. We naturally ask the question—In what ways is God ours? "Immanuel;" in what respect is he one of whom we can say that he is "God with us;" how and where is his presence to be found and to be felt? There are many answers to this question; there is— I. THE ANSWER OF SACRED POETRY . That the presence of God is seen in the results of his Divine handiwork , in the foundations and pillars of the earth, in the "meanest flower that blows," in the varied forms of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:14

The Immanuel-Child. It is one of the most important facts concerning the manifestation of Christ, that he was "born of a virgin," or, as the "Te Deum" expresses it, "He did not abhor the Virgin's womb." We dwell on two points. I. IN THE VIRGIN 'S CHILD LIES HID THE MYSTERY OF THE INCARNATION . Isaiah could have had but faint and shadowy glimpses of those deeper meanings which we can find in his words. Reading his prophecy in the light of its fulfillment in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 7:14-16

The nature of the Messianic prophecies. This being the first in the Book of Isaiah recognized as Messianic, the general subject may be illustrated in connection with it. Isaiah here gives a sign. Looking upon some woman in the king's presence who at the time was a virgin, he, in effect, says, "You shall know that Jehovah is the living God, and the all-sufficient Helper of his people, by this.—Before this woman can bear a son, and that son grow old enough to know good from evil, your land... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 7:14

Therefore - Since you will not “ask” a pledge that the land shall be safe, Yahweh will furnish one unasked. A sign or proof is desirable in the case, and Yahweh will not withhold it because a proud and contemptuous monarch refuses to seek it. Perhaps there is no prophecy in the Old Testament on which more has been written, and which has produced more perplexity among commentators than this. And after all, it still remains, in many respects, very obscure. Its general original meaning is not... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 7:15

Butter and honey - The word rendered “butter” (חמאה chem'âh), denotes not butter, but thick and curdled milk. This was the common mode of using milk as an article of food in the East, and is still. In no passage in the Old Testament does butter seem to be meant by the word. Jarchi says, that this circumstance denotes a state of plenty, meaning that the land should yield its usual increase notwithstanding the threatened invasion. Eustatius on this place says, that it denotes delicate food. The... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 7:13-14

Isaiah 7:13-14. And he said, Hear now, O house of David The prophet no longer addresses himself to Ahaz singly, who would not regard his words, but to the whole royal family, all of whom he reproves, as being the king’s counsellors, and promoting the design of sending for the Assyrian succours. Is it a small thing for you Is it not wickedness enough; to weary men? To vex God’s prophets and people with your oppressions and horrid impieties? But will ye weary my God also? By your... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 7:15

Isaiah 7:15. Butter and honey shall he eat The common food of children in that country, where these articles were in great abundance, and of the best sort. The principal meaning of the verse seems to be, that this child, called Immanuel, should be brought up in the usual manner, “the same republic still continuing, and the cultivated fields, unoccupied by the enemy, abundantly supplying all necessary food; and that thus he should grow up to maturity.” The words, however, also signify, that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-25

7:1-12:6 JUDAH IN THE REIGN OF AHAZChapters 7-12 belong to the reign of Ahaz, when Pekah the king of Israel and Rezin the king of Syria (Aram) joined forces to attack Ahaz, with the aim of forcing Judah into their anti-Assyrian alliance.
