Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)
6 verses later during the same time of the above prophecy, Yahweh would be shaving legs.
In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired beyond the River—with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also. (Isaiah 7:20)
The question is if Isaiah 7:14 was a prophecy of Jesus, then when did Yahweh start shaving legs? Note the verse 20 starts off by saying “in that day” it was a continuation from verse 14. Christians being Christians would try and use the metaphorical twist, saying this isn’t literal shaving is metaphorical. Suppose we even took their word for it. Let’s hear how they explain this verse in conjunction to verse 14.
”In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired beyond the River—with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also.”
Not to mention other events happened during the birth of this son.
In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines, and in the clefts of the rocks, and on all the thornbushes, and on all the pastures. (Isaiah 7:18-19)
Again we would like to know from our Christian friends, how the above verses correlates with verse 14 and 20. If neither of the above events did not take place during the birth of Jesus, then we can conclude Isaiah 7:14 is not a prophecy of Jesus.
It’s absurd, for Christians to reject proceeding events in relation to a specific event they want us to focus on. All events are related then why stick to one? In conclusion Isaiah 7:14 is not a prophecy of Jesus, unless Christians can show us from the Gospels the proceeding prophecies taking place.
