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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 7:10-14

Isaiah 7:10-14 I. Isaiah is desired to offer Ahaz a sign either in the depth or the height. That the Jewish economy was in some sense an economy of signs we all admit. The Jewish prophet was to call the attention of his countrymen to these signs, to discover the signification of them. Our Lord laid down the whole doctrine upon this subject when the Pharisees sought a sign from Him. He had given them signs of healing, life-giving power proofs, that a present God was with them. But they wanted a... read more

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.

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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 7:10

Isa 7:10 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ver. 10. Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz. ] Wicked though he were, and under the power of unbelief, yet he shall see that be hath to do with a very gracious and longsuffering God, who, by a wonderful condescension, will needs give him a sign; Inauditum vero, dari signum incredulo. Christ would not so far gratify the unbelieving Pharisees, but calleth them an "evil and bastardly brood" for seeking a sign from heaven. Mat 12:39 read more

Isa 7:11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. Ver. 11. Ask the sign of the Lord. ] Not of any other God, to whom thou art addicted. Thy God. ] From whom thou hast deeply revolted; but of whom thou mightest upon thy return be graciously reaccepted. Ask it either in the depth. ] This was a fair offer to so foul a sinner; but all would not do - no, though he should have had a sight of heaven or of hell for a sign; and yet Bellarmine thinketh... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 7:10

10. Moreover… again In addition to these encouragements is offered a sign to confirm them. The very offer of a “sign,” and especially of a “sign” at Ahaz’s choice, however extraordinary, implies his want of faith in the assurances. The Lord That is, Jehovah God; for wherever the word LORD in capitals appears in the Old Testament, the Hebrew is generally Jehovah. And Jehovah was the proper name of the God of Judah, as Moloch was the proper name of the god of Ammon, perhaps, also, of... read more
