1 | A choice of what to refuse or choose? | Is 7:15 | stjones | 106820 | ||
Hi, Makarios; I agree that Isaiah is referring to the time when the boy reaches maturity, but I think it goes beyond that. I think Isaiah is stating positively that the boy will choose good over evil. Perhaps this is just intended as further confirmation of the prophecy's authenticity. But I think there are two reasons why Isaiah is saying, in effect, that the boy is destined to make the right choice. First, the boy is a sign from God and evidence of God's presence in that place and time ("God with us"). As a chosen one of God, we would hope that he would choose wisely; Isaiah says he will. Second, and more importantly, the boy Immanuel is himself a prophecy that will be brought to perfection in Jesus. The boy was a SIGN of "God with Us" for Ahaz and Israel at that moment in history; Jesus IS "God with us" for all and forever. Peace and grace Steve aka Indiana Jones |

2 | Child or child? Boy or boy? | Is 7:15 | Ray | 106825 | ||
Hi Steve or whomever, What does one say about the interpretation of the NKJ for this Immanuel? The NKJ has Isaiah 7:16, interpreted as the "Child" and Isaiah 8:4 as the "child". From the heart, Ray |

Ray: I consider you my friend and have great respect for you. So I mean no disrespect or criticism in this post. I'm merely answering your question. The word Polish (capital P) is one word with one meaning; and the word polish (lower case p) is a different word with an entirely different meaning. But "child" and "Child" are the exact same word with the exact same meaning. Capitalizing the word does not make it mean something other than "an unborn or recently born person; or a young person especially between infancy and youth." (Child has other meanings, but those meanings also remain the same with or without capitalization.) The single exception to this is when Child is someone's last name, e.g. Julia Child. Peace, kalos |
