We look at the first word symbolism because Matthew 1 tells us that it relates to Mary and Jesus. Remember that in a word symbolism, motivations behind events are irrelevant. We just have a series of new events described symbolically described by words of the account. We have a triple designation so there are 3 word symbolic threads and verse 14 has the maiden becoming pregnant. So there 3 further fulfilments of that event.
22 All this actually came about for that to be fulfilled which was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet, saying:
23 Look! The virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel, which means, when translated, With Us Is God (Matthew 1).
ISAIAH CHAPTER 7
1 Now it came about in the days of Ahaz [possessor], the son of Jotham [Jehovah is perfect], the son of Uzziah [power of Jah], the king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria [] and Pekah [open eyed], the son of Remaliah [whom Jehovah adorned], the king of Israel [], came up to Jerusalem [] for war against it, and he proved unable to war against it.
2 And a report was made to the house of David, saying: Syria [] has leaned upon Ephraim []. And his heart and the heart of his people began to quiver, like the quivering of the trees of the forest because of a wind.
3 And Jehovah proceeded to say to Isaiah []: Go out, please, to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub [-
will return] your son [], to the end of the conduit of the upper pool by the highway of the laundryman's field.
4 And you must say to him, 'Watch yourself and keep undisturbed. Do not be afraid, and do not let your heart itself be timid because of the 2 tail ends of these smoking logs, because of the hot anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah,
5 for the reason that Syria [with] Ephraim and the son of Remaliah has advised what is bad against you, saying:
6 Let us go up against Judah and tear it apart and by breakthroughs take it for ourselves; and let us make another king reign inside it, the son of Tabeel.
7 'This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: It will not stand, neither will it take place.
8 For the head of Syria [] is Damascus [], and the head of Damascus is Rezin [];
and within just 65 years [], Ephraim will be shattered to pieces so as not to be a people [].
9 And the head of Ephraim [] is Samaria [], and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah []. Unless you people have faith, you will in that case not be of long duration.' []
10 And Jehovah went on speaking some more to Ahaz, saying:
11 Ask for yourself a sign from Jehovah your God [], making it as deep as Sheol or making it high as the upper regions [].
12 But Ahaz said: I shall not ask, neither shall I put Jehovah to the test [].
13 And he proceeded to say: Listen, please,
Oh house of David. Is it such a little thing for you to tire out men, that you should also tire out my God?
14 Therefore Jehovah himself will give you men [] a sign:
Look! The maiden herself will actually become pregnant, and she is giving birth to a son, and she will certainly call his name Immanuel.
15 Butter and honey he will be eating [imperfect] at the time he knows how to reject the bad and choose the good [in other words he knows right from wrong before he eats solid food].
16 For before the boy will know how to reject the bad and choose the good, the ground of whose 2 kings you are feeling a sickening dread will be left entirely.
17 Jehovah will bring against you and against your people and against the house of your father days such as have not come since the day of Ephraim's turning away from alongside Judah, namely, the king of Assyria.
18 And it must occur in that day that Jehovah will whistle for the flies that are at the extremity of the Nile canals of Egypt [demons at the end of the world] and for the bees [honey making angels] that are in the land of Assyria,
19 and they will certainly come in and settle down, all of them, upon the precipitous torrent valleys and upon the clefts of the crags and upon all the thorn thickets and upon all the watering places.
20 In that day, by means of a hired razor in the region of the River, even by means of the king of Assyria, Jehovah will shave the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away even the beard itself.
21 And it must occur in that day that an individual will preserve alive a young cow of the herd and 2 sheep.
22 And it must occur that, due to the abundance of the producing of milk, he will eat butter; because butter and honey are what everyone left remaining in the midst of the land will eat.
23 And it must occur in that day that every place where there used to be 1,000 vines, worth 1,000 pieces of silver, will come to be -- for the thornbushes and for the weeds it will come to be.
24 With arrows and the bow he will come there, because all the land will become mere thornbushes and weeds.
25 And all the mountains that used to be cleared of troublesome plants with a hoe -- you will not come there for fear of thornbushes and weeds; and it will certainly become a place for letting bulls loose and a trampling ground of sheep.
INCORRECT INTERPRETATION...
ISAIAH CHAPTER 7
1 Now it came about in the days of Ahaz [John the baptist], the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, the king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria [Herod, the tetriarch] and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel [high priest of Sanhedrin], came up to Jerusalem [the administration of the congregation of John] for war against it, and he proved unable to war against it.
2 And a report was made to the house of David, saying: Syria [Herod's camp,
Herodian's] has leaned upon Ephraim [The sons of Israel]. And his heart and the heart of his people began to quiver, like the quivering of the trees of the forest because of a wind.
3 And Jehovah proceeded to say to Isaiah [Methuselah]: Go out, please, to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub your son [those baptised in water are all Methuselah's sons by the CRC], to the end of the conduit of the upper pool by the highway of the laundryman's field.
4 And you must say to him, 'Watch yourself and keep undisturbed. Do not be afraid, and do not let your heart itself be timid because of the 2 tail ends of these smoking logs, because of the hot anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah,
5 for the reason that Syria [with] Ephraim and the son of Remaliah has advised what is bad against you, saying:
6 Let us go up against Judah and tear it apart and by breakthroughs take it for ourselves; and let us make another king reign inside it, the son of Tabeel.
7 'This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: It will not stand, neither will it take place.
8 For the head of Syria [Word1:
Tetriarch's administration of Judea] is Damascus [Word1:
Jerusalem], and the head of Damascus is Rezin [Pilate];
and within just 65 years [from whenever you like really, you start it according to the context! This is the built in ambiguity of the scriptures. Perhaps it started when Jesus knew how to choose right from wrong, i.e. from his being aged 9-11 so from 8-10 AD], Ephraim will be shattered to pieces so as not to be a people [Word1: The diaspora of the Jews was complete around 73-75 AD after the zealots last stand at Masada. Word2: The diaspora of FDS2. Word3: The Watchtower identified the UN as the Beast of Revelation in 1942 and rode it from 1992 to 2001, but actually they will not be shattered to pieces so as not to be a pople until the final lava flood since they are bound into a bundle of weeds to be burnt].
9 And the head of Ephraim [Word1:
the Jews] is Samaria [Word1: The Pharisees], and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah [Word1:
Caiaphas]. Unless you people have faith, you will in that case not be of long duration.' [John had his head cut off,
by Herod, but God cut the head off the Jews and the kingdom of Herod]
10 And Jehovah went on speaking some more to Ahaz, saying:
11 Ask for yourself a sign from Jehovah your God [So Ahaz is a leader of God's true people in all symbolisms], making it as deep as Sheol or making it high as the upper regions [this would appear to be two signs,
one involving death and the other involving a heavenly resurrection - 3 days in between the two!].
12 But Ahaz said: I shall not ask, neither shall I put Jehovah to the test [John did not carry out that sign, Jesus did].
13 And he proceeded to say: Listen, please,
Oh house of David. Is it such a little thing for you to tire out men, that you should also tire out my God?
14 Therefore Jehovah himself will give you men [of the house of David] a sign:
Look! The maiden herself will actually become pregnant, and she is giving birth to a son, and she will certainly call his name Immanuel.
15 Butter and honey he will eat by the time that he knows how to reject the bad and choose the good.
16 For before the boy will know how to reject the bad and choose the good, the ground of whose 2 kings you are feeling a sickening dread will be left entirely.
17 Jehovah will bring against you and against your people and against the house of your father days such as have not come since the day of Ephraim's turning away from alongside Judah, namely, the king of Assyria.
18 And it must occur in that day that Jehovah will whistle for the flies that are at the extremity of the Nile canals of Egypt and for the bees that are in the land of Assyria,
19 and they will certainly come in and settle down, all of them, upon the precipitous torrent valleys and upon the clefts of the crags and upon all the thorn thickets and upon all the watering places.
20 In that day, by means of a hired razor in the region of the River, even by means of the king of Assyria, Jehovah will shave the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away even the beard itself.
21 And it must occur in that day that an individual will preserve alive a young cow of the herd and 2 sheep.
22 And it must occur that, due to the abundance of the producing of milk, he will eat butter; because butter and honey are what everyone left remaining in the midst of the land will eat.
23 And it must occur in that day that every place where there used to be 1,000 vines, worth 1,000 pieces of silver, will come to be -- for the thornbushes and for the weeds it will come to be.
24 With arrows and the bow he will come there, because all the land will become mere thornbushes and weeds.
25 And all the mountains that used to be cleared of troublesome plants with a hoe -- you will not come there for fear of thornbushes and weeds; and it will certainly become a place for letting bulls loose and a trampling ground of sheep.
Then we read in Chapter 8...
ISAIAH CHAPTER 8
1 And Jehovah proceeded to say to me: Take for yourself a large tablet and write upon it with the stylus of mortal man,
'Maher-shalal-hash-baz.' [written with the stylus of mortal man, so name due to water baptism not spirit baptism, name given before conception but not name called before conception]
2 And let me have attestation for myself by faithful witnesses, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3 Then I went near to the prophetess, and she came to be pregnant and in time gave birth to a son. Jehovah now said to me:
Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz, [so why is this kid called this long name when he is prophesied to be called Immanuel? Well he is called MSHB which means quickly to the spoil, when he was a boy, at which time when he is around 2-3 years old King Tiglath Pileser siezed Damascus and occupied parts of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in around 745/4 and presumably quickly plundered the place. Shamaneser of Assyria took Samaria in 723. When MSHB he was old enough to teach in the synagogues he was called Immanuel, meaning with us is God. Likewise Jesus was routinely called Immanuel (but also called Jesus) when he was a kid and then routinely called Jesus when he started preaching after his baptism and possession by Michael. The concept here is for a childish name then a priestly name]
4 for before the boy will know how to call out, 'My father!' and 'My mother!' one will carry away the resources of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria before the king of Assyria.
5 And Jehovah proceeded to speak yet further to me, saying:
6 For the reason that this people has rejected the waters of the Shiloah that are going gently, and there is exultation over Rezin and the son of Remaliah;
7 even therefore, look! Jehovah is bringing up against them the mighty and the many waters of the River, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And he will certainly come up over all his streambeds and go over all his banks
8 and move on through Judah. He will actually flood and pass over. Up to the neck he will reach. And the outspreading of his wings must occur to fill the breadth of your land, Oh Immanuel!
9 Be injurious, Oh you peoples, and be shattered to pieces; and give ear, all you in distant parts of the earth! Gird yourselves, and be shattered to pieces! Gird yourselves, and be shattered to pieces!
10 Plan out a scheme, and it will be broken up! Speak any word, and it will not stand, for God is with us!
11 For this is what Jehovah has said to me with strongness of the hand, that he may make me turn aside from walking in the way of this people, saying:
12 you men must not say, 'A conspiracy!'
respecting all that of which this people keep saying, 'A conspiracy!' and the object of their fear you men must not fear, nor must you tremble at it.
13 Jehovah of armies, he is the one whom you should treat as holy, and he should be the object of your fear, and he should be the one causing you to tremble.
14 And he must become as a sacred place; but as a stone to strike against and as a rock over which to stumble to both the houses of Israel, as a trap and as a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them will be certain to stumble and to fall and be broken, and to be snared and caught.
16 Wrap up the attestation, put a seal about the law among my disciples!
17 And I will keep in expectation of Jehovah,
who is concealing his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.
18 Look! I and the children whom Jehovah has given me are as signs and as miracles in Israel from Jehovah of armies, who is residing in Mount Zion.
19 And in case they should say to you people:
Apply to the spiritistic mediums or to those having a spirit of prediction who are chirping and making utterances in low tones, is it not to its God that any people should apply? [Should there be application] to dead persons in behalf of living persons?
20 To the law and to the attestation! Surely they will keep saying what is according to this statement that will have no light of dawn.
21 And each one will certainly pass through the land hard pressed and hungry; and it must occur that because he is hungry and has made himself feel indignant, he will actually call down evil upon his king and upon his God and will certainly peer upward.
22 And to the earth he will look, and, lo!
distress and darkness, obscurity, hard times and gloominess with no brightness.
ISAIAH CHAPTER 9
1 However, the obscureness will not be as when the land had stress, as at the former time when one treated with contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali and when at the later time one caused [it] to be honored -- the way by the sea, in the region of the Jordan,
Galilee of the nations.
2 The people that were walking in the darkness have seen a great light. As for those dwelling in the land of deep shadow, light itself has shone upon them.
3 You have made the nation populous; for it you have made the rejoicing great. They have rejoiced before you as with the rejoicing in the harvesttime, as those who are joyful when they divide up the spoil.
4 For the yoke of their load and the rod upon their shoulders, the staff of the one driving them to work, you have shattered to pieces as in the day of Midian.
5 For every boot of the one tramping with tremors and the mantle rolled in blood have even come to be for burning as food for fire.
6 For there has been a child born to us,
there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
7 To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom in order to establish it firmly and to sustain it by means of justice and by means of righteousness, from now on and to time indefinite. The very zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.
End of account
The demise of Pekah...
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah the king of Judah,
Pekah the son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria for 20
years.
28 And he continued to do what was bad in Jehovah's eyes. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, with which he caused Israel to sin.
29 In the days of Pekah the king of Israel,
Tiglath-pileser, the king of Assyria came in and proceeded to take Ijon and
Abel-beth-maacah and Janoah and Kedesh and Hazor and Gilead and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and to carry them into exile in Assyria.
30 Finally Hoshea, the son of Elah formed a conspiracy, against Pekah, the son of Remaliah and struck him and put him to death; and he began to reign in place of him in the 20th year of Jotham, the son of Uzziah (2 Kings 15).
The demise of Rezin...
7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser the king of Assyria,
saying: I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me out of the palm of the king of Syria and out of the palm of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.
8 Accordingly Ahaz took the silver and the gold that was to be found at the house of Jehovah and in the treasures of the king's
house and sent the king of Assyria a bribe.
9 At that the king of Assyria listened to him and the king of Assyria went up to Damascus and captured it and led its [people] into exile at Kir, and Rezin he put to death (2Kings16).
So in the literal fulfilment the virgin prophetess became pregnant because Isaiah slept with her. The meaning of this prophecy in this case is that she will conceive at the first attempt. She will conceive as a virgin. The prophetess must have been at least promised in Marriage to Isaiah as his second wife in order that Isaiah remained righteous. Matthew 1:23 gives us the word symbolic fulfilment of Isaiah 7 and actually proves the bible code...
21 She will give birth to a son, and you must call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins [Jesus means, God saves].
22 All this actually came about for that to be fulfilled which was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet, saying:
23 Look! The virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel, which means, when translated,
With Us Is God.
24 Then Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of Jehovah had directed him, and he took his wife home.
25 But he had no intercourse with her until she gave birth to a son; and he called his name Jesus (Matthew 1).
Here we have the two name conundrum once more. But the great name Jesus, means God saves period. It does not mean God saves the righteous, or even God saves the faithful or God saves the humble or the meek or the catholics or the protestants, or the Jehovah's witnesses, or the Mormons. He saves period. that is what he does. And he does it very well. He has a 100% success record. He will save everyone - eventually.
In Jesus' case the virgin became pregnant by immaculate conception. This is the first word symbolic fulfilment of Isaiah 7:14. But there are two other fulfilments in the two other word symbolic threads. These further fulfilments will follow the conception pattern of Isaiah and the prophetess rather than Mary and the holy spirit.
