Enemies threaten evil King Ahaz, but Isaiah calls him and all of Judah to look to the Lord for deliverance.  In the process, Isaiah proclaims the coming Messiah.

• Sign of Immanuel – God tells Ahaz to ask for a sign of Judah’s deliverance. Ahaz, who has followed other gods, refuses, faking piety with religious language.  So God gives him a sign of a virgin conceiving and bearing a son called Immanuel.  This child will show Ahaz that God is with Judah.  Yet the ultimate fulfillment comes in the virgin birth of our Messiah (Matthew 1:23).
• Coming King – Isaiah predicts the birth of a child in the line of David who will reign forever with peace and justice. This child has been born and we await his return and glorious reign!
