thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Genesis 22:18

and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Genesis 3:15

3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

Isaiah 8:3,4

Scholar8200:
This passage is very clear.

It's best understood this way:

1. When God told Abraham that :
and in


We would have thought that this would verily be Isaac! However, a number of Centuries passed before the Seed-Jesus Christ- came.


2. When God said to Adam and Eve:


You would have thought it had to be Cain or at most Abel. But milleniums passed and Lo, it was Christ!!!

3. So when God said to the House of David[b](Ahaz was not mentioned in verse13 as the reference because he obviously would not be there when this will be fulfilled but the House of David would be there)[/b] that a virgin shall conceive etc, the reference as always is Christ.

However, just like it happened above, a child was born and Isaiah had this to say:
Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Isaiah 8:17

At this time, the child on ground was a son and the prophecy in the op was also applicable to him:


Now was this fulfilled then? YES

. 9 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.

the op miss the point entirely, the Lord is not speaking to Ahaz directly, but to the HOUSE OF DAVID. It is a sign for the house of David, it is a future confirmation and does not have to be fulfilled right there and then in Ahaz's time.

Isaiah 7:13, "And he said, Hear ye now, O
HOUSE OF DAVID."
