Clip 17 - Does The Bible Prophecy 2 Virgin Births?

Ben and Eli bump heads a bit on the possibility that the prophet Isaiah predicted a second virgin birth. Is that possible? Is that a common miracle in the Bible? Or would you say a virgin birth is unique to Christ?   In this passage in Isaiah we clearly see that he predicts a child will be born and that the parents would name it Emanuel. Isaiah uses the same work for the young girl as is used of Marry, the mother of Jesus, who we know was a virgin when she gave birth. Eli understands this passage to say the young woman was currently a virgin when Isaiah gave the prophecy but she would soon know a man and get pregnant with a son and they will name it Emanuel. Ben does not see the girl as being a virgin but as a young woman who was already pregnant when Isaiah prophecies. He merely foretells the child's gender as male and tells the parents to name him Emanuel; this as a foreshadowing of the coming messiah.   What do you think?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bennis-the-menace-pod--6838881/support.
