Isaiah was sent to king Ahaz in Isaiah 7 to challenge him to believe and obey God, but he would not "put the Lord to the test" (despite the Lord's instructions to do so). So GOD took matters into His own hands and chose the sign [v.14] - "the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” The sign of God’s power and faithfulness to His people would be that He would come to earth and be born in the likeness of men. It may not have been a royal birth, but make no mistake – this baby would rule. He is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The names of this future King are names associated with God Himself. God was born and walked among us in the person of Jesus.
