1 | Does "'almah" mean "virgin"? | Is 7:14 | djconklin | 25815 | ||
If you happen to run into people who claim that the word "almah" in Isa. 7:14 and not "virgin", or that Matthew mis-translated it I have gathered all of the available evidence in one place at http://biblestudy.iwarp.com | ||||||
2 | Does "'almah" mean "virgin"? | Is 7:14 | ateo | 66892 | ||
We could argue all day long about whether "alma" should be translated as "virgin" or not. Personally, I think a more interesting topic of debate is whether or not Isaiah 7:14 is even referring to the messiah. If you read the preceeding verses and the ones that follow, it seems as though Isaiah is talking about a sign to King Ahaz. In other words, this verse doesn't appear to be a prophecy that would be fulfilled 700 years hence, but rather one that would be fulfilled in the very near future. ateo |
