イザヤ書 7:16 JCB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 7:10-17

The Miserable Failure of Ahaz and God’s Judgment On His House (Isaiah 7:10-17 ). We must not underestimate this incident. In this total turnabout of history in Israel’s most crucial time, for it would determine the whole of the future, the scion of the house of David rejects God’s protection, and, uniquely, God’s offer of a striking supernatural sign, and the result is that he and his descendants born from his seed are thereby debarred from being the future Davidic king. Because of Ahaz’s... 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 7:16

For; or, yea; for so this particle is used by way of amplification or addition, Isaiah 32:13; Jeremiah 14:5,Jeremiah 14:18. So the sense is, Not only this land of thine shall be preserved until the virgin’s Son be born, but thine enemy’s land shall be sorely scourged, and these two kings destroyed, within a very little time. The child, Heb. this child; not the virgin’s Son, but the prophet’s child, Shear-jashub, whom in all probability the prophet, to prevent mistakes, pointed at, and who was... 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 7:13-16

THE VIRGIN’S SONIsaiah 7:13-16. And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David, &c.On this supremely difficult passage Dr. Kennicott preached a remarkable sermon before the University of Oxford, on the 19th of May 1765. As this sermon is not readily accessible, I here give some extracts from it.Concerning these words there have been the four following opinions:—I. That the whole passage relates only to a son of Isaiah.II. That the whole passage relates only to CHRIST.III. That the whole passage... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:1-25

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
