Isaiah 7:11
_ _ Ask thee — since thou dost not credit the prophet’s words.
_ _ sign — a miraculous token to assure thee that God will fulfil His promise of saving Jerusalem (Isaiah 37:30; Isaiah 38:7, Isaiah 38:8). “Signs,” facts then present or near at hand as pledges for the more distant future, are frequent in Isaiah.
_ _ ask ... in ... depth — literally, “Make deep ... ask it,” that is, Go to the depth of the earth or of Hades [Vulgate and Lowth], or, Mount high for it (literally, “Make high”). So in Matthew 16:1. Signs in heaven are contrasted with the signs on earth and below it (raising the dead) which Jesus Christ had wrought (compare Romans 10:6, Romans 10:7). He offers Ahaz the widest limits within which to make his choice. |
