1 | Interpretation of Isaiah 7:14 - Virgin | Matt 1:23 | CPLearner | 74714 | ||
In the Isaiah 7:14, prophesy was made that a virgin will give birth to a son. On the word 'virgin' in Isaiah does it mean in this context a 'girl' or a 'young woman' who does not any sexual relationship with man. In Jewish context, the word 'virgin' is pretty strict but I wonder whether it is true that the woman who gave birth in the days of Isaiah is a 'virgin' ? | ||||||

Here the virgin referred to is virgin MARY, the mother of JESUS. Please go through Matt 1:18 to Matt 1:25 |

3 | Isaiah 7:14 - Virgin | Matt 1:23 | CPLearner | 74720 | ||
My understanding is that in Isaiah verse, there were dual fulfilment instead of one. I am interested to know the word 'virgin' in Isaiah's time. Does the word indicate other meaning other what I have stated earlier. |

NIV Bible Study Notes say: Isa 7:14-16 'Virgin' is translated from a Hebrew word used for an unmarried woman old enough to be married, one who is sexually mature (see Genesis 24:43; Exodus 2:8; Psalm 68:25; Proverbs 30:19; Song of Songs 1:3; 6:8). Some have compared this young woman to Isaiah's young wife and newborn son (8:1-4). This is not likely because she had a child, Shear-Jashub, and her second child was not named Immanuel. Some believe that Isaiah's first wife may have died, and so this is his second wife. It is more likely that this prophecy had a double fulfillment. (1) A young woman from the house of Ahaz who was not married would marry and have a son. Before three years passed (one year for pregnancy and two for the child to be old enough to talk), the two invading kings would be destroyed. (2) Matthew 1:23 quotes Isaiah 7:14 to show a further fulfillment of this prophecy in that a virgin named Mary conceived and bore a son, Immanuel, the Christ. |
