But I prefer to think of the young woman as Isaiah's bride (the prophetess of ch. 8) rather than being unmarried. Whether she is already pregnant or not, it is clear that the original meaning of the prophecy was fulfilled in the time of King Ahaz, to whom it was given as a sign that Judah would not be conquered by the northern alliance of Israel and Syria. Christians should be able to recognize this fact and not feel that it negates the NT version. | |
