Isaiah 7:1-8:10 is structured as a chiasm, with 7:17-25, the predicted coming of the nations against Israel, as its center and focal point. The encompassing material has three levels, organized as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Fear of the Syrian-Ephraimite Confederacy<\/strong><\/td>\n7:1-6<\/td>\n8:11-15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Futility of Opposition to God’s People<\/strong><\/td>\n7:7-9<\/td>\n8:5-10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Birth of a Symbolic Son<\/strong><\/td>\n7:10-16<\/td>\n8:1-4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Center: Fulfillment of the Vineyard Prophecy from ch. 5<\/strong><\/td>\n7:17-25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This week’s message<\/a> deals with the first (8:1-4) and second\u00a0 (8:5-10) of these levels as we work out way back out from the center. The first of these contains a promise of a symbolic son that balances, but does not fulfill, the Immanuel prophecy of 7:10-16, while the second, with two references to Immanuel, repeats the assurance of 7:7-9 that it is futile for the northern coalition to attack God’s people.<\/p>\n
