22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" [a] (which means "God with us").
[a]Isaiah 7:14
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you [c] a sign: The virgin [d] will conceive and give birth to a son, and [e] will call him Immanuel. [f]
Isaiah 7:14 The Hebrew is plural.
Isaiah 7:14 Or young woman
Isaiah 7:14 Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls and he or and they
Isaiah 7:14 Immanuel means God with us.
A prophecy was proclaimed through the prophet. It was through Mary to come true. Imagine the magnitude of awe and honour that Mary and Joseph felt and experienced. Often in literature I read about us fulfilling God's prophecies. Except with us it may not be in such a large magnitude. We know however that the work of many hands creates wondrous things. Imagine if all of us took the time to listen and hear what He wants us to do. Imagine that wondrous work that would be accomplished if we all followed through. Today's world is filled with noise and I struggle daily with filtering it all out to focus on what it is He wants from my life.
