Immanuel, God With Us: A Child Is Born and a King of Peace Foretold | Isaiah 7–10

Episode Overview Where do we turn when we're afraid? In this episode we walk through Isaiah 7 through 10. King Ahaz, terrified by enemy armies, is urged to trust God rather than human alliances, and is given the sign of Immanuel—"God with us." Isaiah warns the people to fear God rather than mediums and fear itself. Then comes one of Scripture's great promises: a child is born, a son is given, whose names are Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Amid judgment, God points to a coming King and lasting peace.
