In the context of <a href="/isaiah/7.htm">Isaiah 7</a>, God is speaking through the prophet Isaiah to King Ahaz of Judah. The use of "Lord GOD" underscores the divine authority behind the message. This is a reminder of God's ultimate control over the affairs of nations and kings, a theme prevalent throughout the Bible. The phrase also sets the stage for a divine promise or declaration, which is a common prophetic formula in the Old Testament.<p><b>‘It will not arise;</b><br>The phrase "it will not arise" refers to the specific threat against Judah from the coalition of Syria and Israel. Historically, this coalition sought to dethrone Ahaz and replace him with a puppet king. The assurance that "it will not arise" is a direct promise of protection from God, highlighting His power to thwart the plans of nations. This reflects the biblical theme that God can prevent the schemes of the wicked, as seen in Psalms 33:10, "The LORD foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples."<p><b>it will not happen.</b><br>This final phrase reinforces the certainty of God's promise. The repetition serves to emphasize the reliability of God's word, a common technique in Hebrew literature. The historical context shows that indeed, the coalition's plans failed, affirming the truth of God's declaration. This assurance can be seen as a type of Christ, where God's promises of salvation and deliverance are fulfilled in Jesus, as seen in the New Testament. The phrase also connects to the broader biblical narrative of God's faithfulness, as in <a href="/numbers/23-19.htm">Numbers 23:19</a>, "God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind."<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the mouthpiece of God delivering messages to the people of Judah and their king, Ahaz.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/ahaz.htm">Ahaz</a></b><br>The king of Judah during the time of Isaiah's prophecy.
