Isaiah 7-11

The prophets aren't always easy to understand at first read, and although it's not really my first read much of the detail here will take a lot more research. However, I'll toss out a few observations.

Isaiah's son is named for a warning for the nation. It's reminiscent of Hosea's children. Many of Israel's prophets were given the job of being living examples and living illustrations for the people of Israel to understand. I wonder how many of the people really "got it". The virgin with child of 7:14 is said to be Mary, according to Matthew, but a certain level of fulfillment takes place with Isaiah's child as well. It's a time frame for the coming destruction for Isaiah. Assyria destroys Israel and eventually Assyria is destroyed as well.

A great passage of warning at 8:19-21.

The prophecy of Messiah in chapter nine segues into a prophecy of warning for Israel. God judges, yet there is hope. One of Isaiah's son is named, "a remnant will return". The promise comes in 10:20. Many have taken this to be future as well.

The eleventh chapter of the Branch from Jesse. There is the fulfillment at the incarnation and also at the "end of the world". Sorting out the details is tough work and far too intricate to outline in this fashion, especially without a month of two of research.
