Isaiah 7:7
7 Thus [koh] saith ['amar] the Lord ['Adonay] GOD, [Yahovih] It shall not stand, [quwm]
neither shall it come to pass.KJV-Interlinear
7 thus
says the Lord God, "It shall not stand nor shall it come to pass. NASB
In the previous verse the
design of the kings were to remove Ahaz, to remove the line of David, and put
in his place someone of their choosing.
A name on which there is no documentation except the meaning of the
name.
And in contrast there is
the name of David, his dynasty and rich history, and the choice of God, not
man.
And so in the previous
verse we had, thus says these two kings, etc., etc., etc.
And now we have, thus
says the Lord.
Which statement do you
suppose will be accomplished?
As this chapter unfolds,
it will be clear that the future of both Syria and Samaria, will soon come to
an end, and the future of Judah, will continue beyond their histories. Their dynasties will end, but the dynasty of
Gods choice will continue forever.
All of this is intended
to comfort Ahaz, since the nation will continue beyond his reign and will not
become a part of Syria or Samaria nor will the dynasty of David come to an end,
but that comfort will be limited, in that the future of Judah likewise will
have a difficult road to follow, but that is due to the poor choices of the
people of Judah, unfortunately.
