A 'Pregnant Virgin'?!? Defending a Messianic interpretation of Isaiah 7:14 - The Case for Messiah

The Case for Messiah seeks to answer some the biggest questions and objections to the Messianic interpretation of Scripture and strengthen your faith. In this video we look at the arguments against the Messianic interpretation of Isaiah 7:14. After examining the evidence, we conclude that the Hebrew word "almah" in Isaiah 7:14 means "a young unmarried girl who is a virgin." We also argue that the Messianic interpretation of Isaiah 7:14 is completely appropriate in its larger context.

This has been the best exegesis of the virgin prophecy. I have to say that it is amazing to see the two of you interact with the text and commentaries with clarity and intellectual honesty, and conclude with a compelling case for the Gospels. God bless you.

ooh, do you know why I came running to this video, I remembered your study on "Virgin', then to my amazement, I was running from Tovia Singer's video, "ANNIHILATES Christianity".(Like to see how sharp my Discerning Sensory Receptors are Reacting to Holy Spirit's Quickening). To then see how y'all went through the rest of the chapter just as I did... All in All, Sweet Blessing, Thank you my Brothers!!!

My favorite channel, it is so exciting to learn more of the depth and richness of scripture. The way you teach it I know God is guiding you and I am grateful to Him for guiding me to you. I look for new videos from One For Israel all the time and can hardly stand the wait for the next lesson. Shalom from Montana

Even before I hear a word I'm confidently giving you a thumbs up and downloading for my files. 'Pod for Israel' has meant so much to me the last year and a half since God led me here during difficult times. I grew up in a Jewish neighbor hood and even attended a Jewish camp for 18 summers! I was the token goy. I learned so much from Judaism and looked forward to those Sabbath Fridays where my cabin mates only groaned and moaned about Friday evenings. They did love sleeping in Saturday mornings though. Thank you for teaching me how to pray for my Jewish friends respectfully and in a way that celebrates their faith and heritage. Thank you for making me a better Christian and opening new pathways of study and reflection. Thank Yeshua for One for Israel!

An Assyrian here. Hebrew is derived from the Aramac language which i speak. I can confirm the word "almeh" which in Aramaic (Assyrian) is "alem ta" means a young girl, a teenage girl who is not married and is a virgin.

Love your program, i have discovered it recently. God bless you and continue the good work. ✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️

I had the same discussion with a Jewish man. About the word almah That Yeshua ha Mashiach was widely announced by the prophets, and that He would already have come. Good that you did a thorough research on this.

[Joefest]

This is seriously important work and you fella’s are killing it! 👏 👏👏👏

You’re restoring so much lost faith, and filling souls with new faith! Amen!

[arlenelippiello]

God Bless you both. I love how you explain both testaments and how they fit together to show the foretelling of the messiah and that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth our savior.❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️😊

The level of scholarship on this video is better than anything I've ever seen. I had to subscribe because I want to be this good at reading the scriptures. Excellent work, gentlemen!

The way of a man with a virgin. I've always understood this to mean a man winning a young woman's heart for marriage and all the intricacies that are involved in that. Just like the miracle of an eagle conquering the sky and the smooth bellied snake able to move across the smooth rock and a heavy ship which by all intuition should sink instead conquers the sea, the intricacies and precision and balance of these relationships and the laws that govern them is truly a wonder. Love is one of those wonders by which a man conquers the heart of a virgin.
