Isaiah 7:14 is a significant passage in the Bible that speaks to the coming of Jesus Christ. Here's the verse:
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." (NIV)
This prophecy is often referred to as the "virgin birth" or "Immanuel prophecy". It's a powerful declaration of God's plan to send a Savior to redeem humanity.
In this verse:
* "The Lord himself will give you a sign" - This indicates that God is about to perform a miraculous and undeniable sign.
* "A virgin will conceive" - The Hebrew word "almah" (עלמה) means "young woman" or "virgin". This emphasizes the miraculous nature of the conception, as it was not common for women in ancient Israel to remain virgins until marriage.
* "Give birth to a son" - This is significant because Jesus is referred to as the Son of God.
* "And will call him Immanuel" - The name "Immanuel" means "God with us". This emphasizes the significance of Jesus' coming: He is the one who brings God's presence and redemption to humanity.
This prophecy was fulfilled when Mary, a virgin, became pregnant with Jesus through the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18-25). Jesus is often referred to as the Son of God or Immanuel, emphasizing His divine nature and mission to bring salvation to humanity.
In a broader sense, this passage points to the fulfillment of God's promise to send a Savior to rescue humanity from sin and its consequences. It's a powerful reminder that God is always at work, fulfilling His plans and purposes in our lives.
