Isaiah 7:10-11 “Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, 'Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.” THE SIGN He sounded so pious; this wicked king- He feared what God was on his nation going to bring. The enemies drew near; he had no place to run. So, in that special place, he met the prophet and his son- Who told him the word of the Lord in a special way- A miraculous child would be born in a coming day. That One Who will be born will finally set things right- But before he comes you and your nation will be put to flight.
To pretend to be holy and pious in the presence of God- Is not the thing to do when the evil you've done is known abroad. To deceive and test your fellowmen is bad enough- But to pretend and try to deceive God is just too much. There is no way to fake piety before God Who knows all. The place to begin is in true repentance you must fall- And turn from the wickedness and evil you've done- Then call on God for mercy before the grace-period is gone.
God has a plan He has followed down through the ages. It was told first to Adam, and passed on through prophets and sages. A miraculous thing will happen; the seed of the woman- Will bring blessing to all, when God takes on human Form, and from that place among men He chooses to take- He becomes our perfect Substitute as atonement He makes. Then we who were lost to God and sentenced to death- Can be righteously accepted, forgiven and blessed.
The sign of the virgin birth to many is not real. They will not accept what they do not experience, see or feel. Rejecting the sign is to bring God down to no more than a man. People turn away in unbelief and so no longer can- Bring themselves to listen to God, let alone believe That Jesus is God, nor accept as true that a virgin conceived And the Child that was born to her was God in human flesh- The sign that was given was that through Him, all men could be blessed.
“Gracious God, my Father, there is this young lady that I believe wants to be saved. If there is something I should tell her that I haven't, please bring it clearly to my mind and help me express Thy grace in a suitable way. In thy Name, Amen.”
