Old Testament Prophecies of the Birth of Christ II

Around 700 years before the birth of our Savior, the Prophet Isaiah had a revelation from God Himself that had profound implications for us today.  Isaiah had brought the Word to Ahaz, King of Judah, as he was facing imminent attacks that threatened to ruin him and depose him as King.  At this meeting, the LORD spoke to Ahaz directly too, and told him to ask Him for a sign of victory for Judah, but Ahaz did not want to ask God for a sign, to which Isaiah responded: 

“Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also?  Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.  Isaiah 7:14


"Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals." Revelation 5:5
