Unto Us A Child Is Born

Before King Ahaz assumed the throne of Israel, Baal worship had been eliminated in all 10 tribes in Judah. But Ahaz was so wicked that he sacrificed his own son to the false god and imposed every ungodly act of sin upon the people.

So, it was in the midst of all this shaking, and the utter contempt for anything holy, that was coming down from the wicked King that the Lord sent hope through the Prophet, Isaiah!

Isaiah 9:6-7: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Price of Peace.

We have the promise of the Father and the gift of the Son, even in the midst of our own shaking. Thank God for sending his Unspeakable Gift!
