WHEN AHAZ … WAS KING / ISAIAH 7:1-25
About 735/734 B.C., the kings of Israel and Aram prepared to attack Judah, but Isaiah told King Ahaz of Judah to trust God to save them. Ahaz, however, refused to accept God’s offer of a miraculous sign, and instead looked to Assyria for help (2 Kings 16:5-18; 2 Chronicles 28:16-21). Isaiah challenged the king’s lack of faith and proceeded to prophesy of a God-given sign anyway – a sign to the whole house of David (nation of Judah). This future sign would be the birth of Immanuel (Isaiah 7:13-17), which means “God with us” (Matthew 1:23), referring to Jesus Christ. Though the Aramean and Israelite invasion would fail, just as God promised (Isaiah 7:7), Judah’s lack of faith and failure to depend on God would finally lead to their destruction. God later would send the Assyrians – the nation they had trusted instead of God – and the Babylonians to devastate the lands of Israel and Judah (2 Kings 17; 25).
