Isa 7:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14-15 : Since Ahaz would not ask for a sign, God gave one anyway: “Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14 ). This prophecy points to the birth of Jesus Christ, who would be called Immanuel, which means “God with us” (Matthew 1:21-25 ). This was a promise that the house of David would not be destroyed, because the Messiah would come from their family. Immanuel would be truly human, growing up and eating the food of the land, just like other children (Luke 2:40,52 ). Even though he was born in a miraculous way, he would live a real human life.
