1 | How do we know Isaiah 7:14 was prophecy? | Matt 1:23 | Morant61 | 142667 | ||
Greetings Huron! I'll try to give another succinct answer! :-) We don't that Is. 7:14 is a prophecy about Jesus because God tells us so in Mt. 1:22! ;-) Scripture is the best interpreter of Scripture. It is not unusual that prophetic passages have more than one fulfillment. Is. 7:14 was clearly addressing to a contemporary situation, which is why I have no problem with translating the Hebrew word as 'young woman'. However, Mt. 1:22 tells us that it had an even greater fulfillment in reference to Christ who would be born of, not just a young woman, but of a 'virgin'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Isaiah 7:14/Matt 1:23 | Matt 1:23 | Huron | 142761 | ||
Tim, That certainly answers the question for me, but what would you tell someone who asked the same question BUT only believes the OT. Person in question believes the Messiah hasn't come yet, and that the NT was written by heretics. With that background information, how would you answer the question? |

3 | Isaiah 7:14/Matt 1:23 | Matt 1:23 | Searcher56 | 142764 | ||
Huron, I would have tem read Hebrews, which shows that the OT is incomplete without Christ. PRAYER is the key ... because they need to overcome the hurdle that blinds them in believing (John 12:37-41). Also, consider having a Messianic Jew talk with them ... for they can relate. Just some thoughts. Searcher |
