Bible Question:
Isaiah 7:14 mentions the birth of Immanuel who is he? |
Bible Answer: Footnote from the NAB on Isaiah 7:14 "The sign proposed by Isaiah was concerned with the preservation of Judah in the midst of distress (cf Isaiah 7:15 , 17), but more especially with the fulfillment of God's earlier promise to David (2 Sam 7:12-16 ) in the coming of Immanuel (meaning, "With us is God") as the ideal king (cf Isaiah 9:5-6 ; 11:1-5 ). The Church has always followed St. Matthew [Matt 1:23]in seeing the transcendent fulfillment of this verse in Christ and his Virgin Mother. The prophet need not have known the full force latent in his own words; and some Catholic writers have sought a preliminary and partial fulfillment in the conception and birth of the future King Hezekiah, whose mother, at the time Isaiah spoke, would have been a young, unmarried woman (Hebrew, almah). The Holy Spirit was preparing, however, for another Nativity which alone could fulfill the divinely given terms of Immanuel's mission, and in which the perpetual virginity of the Mother of God was to fulfill also the words of this prophecy in the integral sense intended by the divine Wisdom." http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/isaiah/isaiah7.htm Emmaus |
