Isaiah 7:14 is a famous Bible verse that has been connected to the Christmas story. Here's what it says:
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: A virgin will conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
This verse is often seen as a prophecy about the birth of Jesus Christ. Let's break it down:
* "A virgin" (Hebrew: 'almah) refers to a young woman who has never been married or had children. This phrase is used in ancient Jewish literature to describe a maiden, not necessarily a virgin in the classical sense.
* "will conceive" and "bear a son" indicate that this young woman will become pregnant and give birth to a male child.
* "and shall call his name Immanuel" means that the child will be named Emmanuel, which means "God with us." This name emphasizes Jesus' divine nature.
In the context of Isaiah 7:1-16, God is speaking to King Ahaz through Isaiah. Ahaz had refused to ask God for a sign or miracle, so God offers one anyway. The sign is the birth of a child who will be named Immanuel, indicating that God will be with his people.
Many Christians believe that this prophecy was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as Emmanuel (Matthew 1:23). Jesus' name and mission emphasized God's presence among humanity, which was a central theme of Isaiah's prophecy.
As for Christmas Bible verses, Isa 7:14 is often read during the Advent season or on Christmas Day. Some popular Christmas Bible verses include:
* Luke 2:10-11: "But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'"
* Matthew 1:18-21: "This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: When Mary heard that she was going to have a child and that her husband had not touched her sexually, she said, 'How will this be?' The angel replied, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be the Son of God.'"
* John 1:14: "The Word became flesh and made his home among us. We have seen his glory, the glory that is from the Father as only this full of grace and truth.'"
