34.  God’s sign for his people

 

While Ahaz was king in Jerusalem, two kings declared war on him. They surrounded Jerusalem with their soldiers. The King’s heart and the hearts of the people trembled, just like trees in the forest tremble when the storm breaks out upon them.

 

King Ahaz went to the water channel to inspect it. The prophet Isaiah went there also. He brought the king a message from God: Stay calm, do not fear. The two are plotting evil against you. Be loyal to God and he will be loyal to you. Isaiah said: God will give you a sign – any sign you ask for – so that you can be sure of his help. But Ahaz rejected his offer: No, I will not ask God for a sign: Then Isaiah said: Nevertheless, God will give you this sign: See, the maiden shall conceive a child. She will give birth to a son and give him the name Immanuel. That means: God is with us.
