Isaiah chapter 7

Isaiah chapter starts out describing a war where an evil alliance was formed between Israel and Assyria. They had made an alliance to go down and attack Ahaz the king of Judah. Then we read that Isaiah is talking to King Ahaz saying to ask God for a sign but Ahaz states that he will not tempt God this way. Isaiah then ask an interesting question. "It is a small thing that you weary men, but will ye weary my God also?" Isaiah proceeds to give him the sign anyway, he proceeds to tell of a virgin giving birth and him being called Immanuel. Clearly a foretelling of the coming of Jesus. Then he goes on to describe that the land will turn to thorns and briers, that it becomes war torn. This has all already taken place. For many years this land has been desolate and we all know how war torn that this region is. It is amazing how accurate that the prophecy that Isaiah gave really was. Looking ahead over the next 750 years all the way trough 2700 years later. It really is amazing.
