ArchivedMATTHEW 1:23, ISAIAH 7:11, a prophecy fulfilled?There are many different opinions on this. Some believe the dominance of Judah among the other tribes of Israel came to an end in 70 A.D. when the temple was destroyed. Though Assyria and Babylon overtook Judah (Babylon conquered the southern kingdom of Judah), its demise happened after the time of the Messiah. You have to remember, when Babylon was on its way to destruction, people returned to the land of Judah. When you read that verse in Isaiah 8:8, it is not referring to the child who was born in Isaiah 8:4. Because in the verses between those two verses the conversation changes from the child to the King of Assyria. And in verse 8 it mentions Judah and then refers to Judah by saying "O Immanuel." There is no denial or distortion going on here. "Immanuel" was not referring to the child in verse 4 as you claim and there is no reason to believe that from reading the context (Messiah to come from Judah: Genesis 49:9-10, Micah 5:2). Also, the child who was to be born called "Immanuel" is the same child mentioned in Isaiah 9:6. And we all know the child in Isaiah 8 is not the child in Isaiah 9. there is no record of anyone born during Isaiah's time being called Immanuel and fulfilling the prophecies of Immanuel. |
