Isaiah 8:18
_ _ I and the children — Isaiah means “salvation of Jehovah”; His children’s names, also (Isaiah 7:3, Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 8:3), were “signs” suggestive of the coming and final deliverance.
_ _ wonders — that is, symbols of the future (Isaiah 20:3; Zechariah 3:8). “Behold I ... me” is quoted in Hebrews 2:13 to prove the manhood of the Messiah. This is the main and ultimate fulfillment of the prophecy; its temporary meaning is applied to Ahaz’ time. Isaiah typically, in Isaiah 8:17, Isaiah 8:18, personates Messiah, who is at once “Father” and “Son,” Isaiah and Immanuel, “Child” and “Mighty God,” and is therefore called here a “wonder,” as in Isaiah 9:6, “Wonderful.” Hence in Hebrews 2:13, believers are called His “children”; but in Isaiah 8:11, Isaiah 8:12, His “brethren.” On “the Lord hath given me,” see John 6:37, John 6:39; John 10:29; John 17:12.
_ _ which dwelleth in ... Zion — and will therefore protect Jerusalem. |
Isaiah 8:18
Behold — These words are literally spoken by Isaiah concerning himself, but mystically concerning Christ; and therefore they are fitly ascribed to Christ, Hebrews 2:13. The children — His spiritual children, whom he had either begotten or brought up by his ministry. Wonders — Are a gazing flock, for our folly in believing God's promises. From the Lord — Which comes to pass by the wise providence of God. Zion — Where the temple now was, and where the Messiah was to set up his kingdom. |
Isaiah 8:18
Behold, I and the (s) children whom the LORD hath given me [are] for signs and for wonders in Israel (t) from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
(s) Meaning, them who were willing to hear and obey the word of God whom the world hated, as though they were monsters and not worthy to live.
(t) This was a consolation in their troubles, knowing that nothing could come to them, but by the will of the Lord. |
