Matthew\u2019s gospel begins with a genealogy showing that Jesus Christ is the \u201cSon of David, the Son of Abraham\u201d (Matt. 1:1<\/a>). Matthew intends to show how Jesus fulfills the promises of God. And the first of these promises are tied to the virgin birth, the naming of Jesus and his role in saving \u201cHis people from their sins\u201d (Matt. 1:21<\/a>). Matthew shows us that this child is the fulfillment of a prophecy spoken long ago. \u201cSo all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: \u2018Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,\u2019 which is translated, \u2018God with us.\u2019\u201d (Matt. 1:22\u201323<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is all probably familiar to us, but are we familiar with the context of this ancient prophecy? Which prophet did the Lord speak to? How was this prophecy understood in its original context? Let\u2019s investigate this further with some assistance from the NKJV Study Bible in Full Color<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah and Ahaz<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After his vision and commissioning in Isaiah 6:1\u201313<\/a>, Isaiah is sent to deliver a message to Ahaz. Ahaz is making preparations for a foreign invasion, a trembling thought (Isaiah 7:2<\/a>). But the Lord tells him not to fear, that the kings who come against him will not be successful (7:4\u20139<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if the Lord\u2019s word is not enough to reassure Ahaz, the Lord gives him the opportunity to ask for a sign (7:10\u201311<\/a>). This is an open invitation to ask for whatever he wants, carte blanche! And yet, Ahaz is too pious (proud?) to take advantage of the opportunity. He replies, \u201cI will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!\u201d (7:12<\/a>). Nevertheless, seemingly exasperated by Ahaz\u2019s refusal, the Lord will provide a sign. \u201cTherefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel\u201d (7:14<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah turns from the king whom he has dismissed in judgment and addresses all who are present. The sign is for many. The word Lord speaks of the sovereignty of God, of His great control over all His creation. The pronoun Himself adds an absolute certainty to the impending sign. The Hebrew word rendered virgin means \u201ca young woman of marriageable age.\u201d But the word also connotes the idea of virginity, for the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible made in the second century B.C., translates the Hebrew word with a Greek word that specifically means \u201cvirgin.\u201d<\/p>NKJV Study Bible in Full Color<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Verse 14<\/a> is the prophecy Matthew says is fulfilled in the birth of Jesus, the incarnation of the Son of God. Here\u2019s an excerpt from an article in the NKJV Study Bible in Full Color<\/a> that describes the challenge of interpreting this sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immanuel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBehold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.\u201d During the Christmas season, this verse becomes a part of our common vocabulary (7:14<\/a>). Most Christmas pageants recite the verse, and pastors explain the meaning of Immanuel, \u201cGod with Us.\u201d How the prophecy was fulfilled in the birth of Christ is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (Matt. 1:23<\/a>). But there are still questions that surround this prophecy. For instance, how could the birth of Jesus be a sign to Ahaz? Sometimes unraveling biblical prophecy can be difficult. This is one of those cases; Christians have interpreted this prophecy in several different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahaz\u2019s Wife and Child<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some have thought the anonymous \u201cvirgin\u201d may refer to a royal mother\u2014more specifically Ahaz\u2019s wife. Thus the child would be Hezekiah, Ahaz\u2019s successor. Hezekiah would be a sign to Ahaz that God was in control: The Lord was with Ahaz; He would save Judah from the enemies that surrounded Ahaz, enabling his son to inherit the throne (Is. 7:1\u20133<\/a>). Yet the reference to the child eating \u201ccurds and honey\u201d was a prediction of Assyria\u2019s eventual domination of Judah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah\u2019s Wife and Child<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Others have identified Isaiah\u2019s wife, \u201cthe prophetess\u201d of 8:3<\/a>, as the \u201cvirgin.\u201d She was a young woman of marriageable age, another meaning of the Hebrew word translated virgin<\/em>. The child in this case would be Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. According to this view, the child\u2019s two names, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz meaning \u201cSpeed the Spoil, Hasten the Booty,\u201d and Immanuel meaning \u201cGod with Us,\u201d symbolize judgment and salvation. In fact, Isaiah himself described his children as \u201csigns\u201d to the nation (see 8:18<\/a>), and he delivered a similar prophecy for this son (compare 7:16<\/a> with 8:4<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph\u2019s Wife and Child<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some cite the parallel between the prophecy that a \u201cvirgin shall conceive\u201d and Jesus\u2019 miraculous birth as evidence that this prophecy was fulfilled only in Jesus. Mary was the virgin mother; and the birth of Jesus was the sign of God\u2019s salvation. His name would be Immanuel, \u201cGod with Us,\u201d because Jesus was the Son of God and He lived among us (Matt. 1:23<\/a>). According to this view, Isaiah\u2019s prophecy had no fulfillment prior to Jesus\u2019 birth (Matt. 1:18\u201325<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is not uncommon for biblical prophecies to have one level of fulfillment in the immediate future, and a final fulfillment many years later in the person and work of the Savior, Jesus. Thus the pregnancy of Isaiah\u2019s new wife and the birth of her son (Is. 8:3<\/a>) could have been a sign to King Ahaz. However, this would have been a<\/em> fulfillment, not the<\/em> fulfillment. The prophecy was completely fulfilled in the coming of God\u2019s only Son to the earth. He is the only Child who can truly be called Wonderful, Counselor, and Prince of Peace (see 9:6<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though uncertainty surrounds how this prophecy was fulfilled during Isaiah\u2019s lifetime, Matthew makes it clear that Isaiah\u2019s words find their ultimate fulfillment in the virgin birth of Jesus, a sign to people of all ages that God was with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
