Isaiah 8:1

Continuing through Isaiah 7–9, this teaching shows how the prophecy of Maher-shalal-hash-baz gave a near-term fulfillment to the virgin-birth sign promised to King Ahaz, and how Judah's refusal to trust the Lord ("the fountain") brought the flood of Assyrian judgment. It calls believers to make God their fear, sanctuary, and governor, pointing finally to the great light of Christ, the child born and Son given.
