Isaiah 7:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 7:8

6 “Let us go up against Judah and¹ trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel”—

7 thus says the Lord God:
^a“It shall not stand,
Nor shall it come to pass.

8 ^aFor the head of Syria is Damascus,
And the head of Damascus is Rezin.
Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be broken,
So that it will not be a people.

9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria,
And the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son.
^aIf you will not believe,
Surely you shall not be established.” ’ ”
