Isaiah 7 | A Child and a Kingdom
December 4, 2022
Less Harry Potter more Passover
King Ahaz
line of
Judah
Israel to the north
Assyria too
mounting an attack
He can’t win
God sends Isaiah
Ahaz wasn’t asking
sign
Ahaz declines…
Jesus, Pharisees
Child and a Kingdom
baby
before he knows right from wrong, the Assyrian alliance will begin to break apart
His very life stands as a testament against the evil invaders
Every breath is a reminder that its day has an end
Kingdom - Assyria
Curds and Honey
Promise restored
Matthew
Jesus - virgin, child, God really with us, kingdom
this time for real
His very life is the indictment on evil
It comes to an end as He lives
Advent
- Let’s not be Ahaz about it
- Let’s actively seek the signs of the coming Kingdom
