SYRIA, IRAQ, ISIS, ISRAEL & BIBLICAL PROPHECIES
Isn’t it strange that when
Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the king of Israel, come with their vast armies
and station themselves right in front of Jerusalem, God gives Ahaz, the king of
Judah, the sign of the virgin birth of Jesus as the sign to ensure the king of
Judah that the armies coming to fight against Jerusalem will not prevail?!
Jesus would be born
centuries after the time in which Ahaz lived. When Jesus would be born, Ahaz
wouldn’t be there to witness His birth nor the then existing crisis would be
cast into abeyance for centuries in order for the sign of God to fulfill before
it is resolved as per God’s plan! Therefore, in the given context God’s sign to
Ahaz actually seems out of context. Why, then, God gave this sign to Ahaz?
Interestingly, there were
many other prophetic utterances accompanying this Messianic prophecy which were
equally out of context! In fact, the entire Chapter 7 of Isaiah is utterly
silent about what exactly happened of the crisis with which it began and how it
was resolved. Why?
It is truly fascinating
the way Bertrand guides his readers through entire situation to the conclusion
that would not fail to surprise them.
