Ahaz, having liberty to choose a sign, and refusing it, has for a sign, Christ promised 17. His judgment is prophesied to come by Assyria But this is what the Lord GOD says: This phrase emphasizes the authority and sovereignty of God. In the context of Isaiah 7, God is speaking through the prophet Isaiah to King Ahaz of Judah. The use of "Lord GOD" underscores the divine authority behind the message. This is a reminder of God's ultimate control over the affairs of nations and kings, a theme prevalent throughout the Bible.

IsaiahA major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the mouthpiece of God delivering messages to the people of Judah and their king, Ahaz. 2. Ahaz The king of Judah during the time of Isaiah's prophecy. He faced threats from the northern kingdom of Israel and Aram (Syria). 3. Rezin and Pekah Rezin was the king of Aram, and Pekah was the king of Israel. They formed an alliance to attack Jerusalem, which is the context of Isaiah 7:7. 4. Jerusalem The capital city of Judah, under threat from the alliance of Israel and Aram. 5. The Lord GOD (Yahweh) The sovereign God of Israel, who assures Ahaz through Isaiah that the plans of his enemies will not succeed. Teaching Points God's SovereigntyDespite human plans and threats, God's purposes will prevail. Believers can trust in God's ultimate control over all circumstances. Faith Over Fear Ahaz was encouraged to trust in God rather than fear his enemies. Christians today are called to place their faith in God rather than succumb to fear in the face of adversity. Prophetic Assurance God's word through the prophets is reliable and trustworthy. Believers should find comfort in the promises of God as revealed in Scripture. Divine Intervention God intervenes in human history to accomplish His will. This should encourage believers to seek God's guidance and intervention in their own lives.Verse 7. - Thus saith the Lord God; literally, the Lord Jehovah, as in Isaiah 28:10; Isaiah 40:10; Isaiah 48:16, etc. It shall not stand; i.e. "the design shall not hold good, it shall not be accomplished." Rezin and Pekah have planned to set aside the issue of David, to which God had promised his throne (2 Samuel 7:11-16; Psalm 89:27-37), and to act up a new line of kings unconnected with David. They think to frustrate the everlasting counsel of God. Such an attempt was of necessity futile. Parallel Commentaries ...
