Again the LORD spoke
This indicates a continuation of communication from God to Ahaz, emphasizing God's persistent effort to reach out to the king. It reflects God's patience and desire to guide His people, even when they are resistant or fearful. This persistence is seen throughout the Bible, such as in God's repeated calls to the prophets or His continued guidance to the Israelites in the wilderness.

to Ahaz
Ahaz was the king of Judah during a tumultuous period when the kingdom faced threats from surrounding nations, particularly from Israel and Syria. Historically, Ahaz is known for his lack of faith and reliance on foreign alliances rather than trusting in God. His reign is documented in 2 Kings 16 and 2 Chronicles 28, where his idolatry and political decisions are criticized. Ahaz's lack of faith contrasts with the faithfulness of his son, Hezekiah, who later becomes a reformer king.

saying
This introduces a direct message from God, highlighting the importance of divine communication. In the context of Isaiah 7, God is about to offer Ahaz a sign to reassure him of His protection and sovereignty. This moment is pivotal, as it sets the stage for the prophecy of the virgin birth in Isaiah 7:14, which Christians interpret as a messianic prophecy fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The act of God speaking directly to a king underscores the seriousness and significance of the message being delivered.

Teaching Points
God's Initiative in Communication
God takes the initiative to speak to His people, even when they are not seeking Him. This demonstrates His grace and desire for relationship.

The Importance of Faith
Ahaz's account is a cautionary tale about the dangers of relying on human wisdom and alliances instead of trusting in God's promises.

Prophetic Fulfillment
The prophecy given to Ahaz has a dual fulfillment, pointing to immediate historical events and the future coming of Christ, showing God's sovereignty over history.

God's Patience and Persistence
Despite Ahaz's reluctance, God continues to reach out, illustrating His patience and willingness to guide His people back to faithfulness.

The Role of Prophets
Prophets like Isaiah serve as God's mouthpieces, calling leaders and nations to repentance and faith, reminding us of the importance of heeding God's word.Verses 10-16. - THE SIGN OF IMMANUEL. The supposition that there was a considerable interval between ver. 9 and ver. 10 (Cheyne) is quite gratuitous. Nothing in the text marks any such interval. God had sent Ahaz one message by his prophet (vers. 4-9). It had apparently been received in silence, at any rate without acknowledgment. The faith had seemed to be lacking which should have embraced with gladness the promise given (see the last clause of ver. 9). God, however, will give the unhappy monarch another chance. And so he scuds him a second message, the offer of a sign which should make belief in the first message easier to him (ver. 11). Ahaz proudly rejects this offer (ver. 12). Then the sign of "Immanuel" is given - not to Ahaz individually, but to the whole "house of David," and through them to the entire Jewish people. "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, whose name shall be called Immanuel; and before this child shall have grown to the age of moral discernment, God's people will have been delivered, and their enemies made a desolation" (vers. 14-16). The exact bearing of the "sign" will be best discussed in the comment upon ver. 14. Verse 10. - The Lord spake again unto Ahaz. As before (vers. 3, 4) by the mouth of his prophet.
