ISAIAH 7:14 in Judaism & Christianity.

Isaiah prophecies the birth of a son.

In the next chapter a son is indeed born.

How then did this wondrous sign to ancient king Ahaz of Judah become associated with the birth of Yeshu and the foundation of the Christian belief in a virgin birth?

This lesson teaches the historical application of Isaiah, chapters seven and eight and shows its application to the times of its natural fulfillment.

We then proceed to discuss the Christian Gospel of Matthew and the use of this verse there to introduce the concept of a virgin birth.

Did Matthew the Jew really intend to mean this; is what he actually wrote being interpreted correctly?

We ask this question and more.

This lesson is mean to be an exploration into theology and history and is in no way designed to be confrontational or iconoclastic.

For centuries Christians have asked why Jews cannot see the so-called truth of their religion as expressed through our Jewish Bible.

This lesson helps to build bridges of understanding to enable those who so wish to comprehend historical and Judaic truths.
