It reflects God's patience and desire to guide His people, even when they are resistant or fearful. This persistence is seen throughout the Bible, such as in God's repeated calls to the prophets or His continued guidance to the Israelites in the wilderness.<p><b>to Ahaz</b><br>Ahaz was the king of Judah during a tumultuous period when the kingdom faced threats from surrounding nations, particularly from Israel and Syria. Historically, Ahaz is known for his lack of faith and reliance on foreign alliances rather than trusting in God. His reign is documented in <a href="/2_kings/16.htm">2 Kings 16</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/28.htm">2 Chronicles 28</a>, where his idolatry and political decisions are criticized. Ahaz's lack of faith contrasts with the faithfulness of his son, Hezekiah, who later becomes a reformer king.<p><b>saying</b><br>This introduces a direct message from God, highlighting the importance of divine communication. In the context of <a href="/isaiah/7.htm">Isaiah 7</a>, God is about to offer Ahaz a sign to reassure him of His protection and sovereignty. This moment is pivotal, as it sets the stage for the prophecy of the virgin birth in <a href="/isaiah/7-14.htm">Isaiah 7:14</a>, which Christians interpret as a messianic prophecy fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

The supposition that there was a considerable interval between ver. 9 and ver. 10 (Cheyne) is quite gratuitous. Nothing in the text marks any such interval. God had sent Ahaz one message by his prophet (vers. 4-9). It had apparently been received in silence, at any rate without acknowledgment. The faith had seemed to be lacking which should have embraced with gladness the promise given (see the last clause of ver. 9). God, however, will give the unhappy monarch another chance. And so he scuds him a second message, the offer of a sign which should make belief in the first message easier to him (ver. 11). Ahaz proudly rejects this offer (ver. 12). Then the sign of "Immanuel" is given - not to Ahaz individually, but to the whole "house of David," and through them to the entire Jewish people. "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, whose name shall be called Immanuel; and before this child shall have grown to the age of moral discernment, God's people will have been delivered, and their enemies made a desolation" (vers. 14-16). The exact bearing of the "sign" will be best discussed in the comment upon ver. 14. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The Lord spake again unto Ahaz</span>.
