His judgment is prophesied to come by Assyria And on that day This phrase refers to a specific time of judgment and fulfillment of prophecy. In the context of Isaiah 7, "that day" points to a future period when God's warnings through the prophet Isaiah would come to pass. It is a reminder of the certainty of God's word and His control over historical events. This phrase often signifies a time of divine intervention or significant change, as seen in other prophetic books like Joel and Zephaniah. in every place that had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels of silver only briers and thorns will be found Persons / Places / Events 1. IsaiahA major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book. He prophesied during the reigns of several kings of Judah, including Ahaz, to whom this prophecy was directed. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, where Jerusalem is located. This prophecy is directed towards the people of Judah during a time of political and military turmoil. 3. King Ahaz The king of Judah at the time of this prophecy. He was known for his lack of faith in God and reliance on foreign alliances. 4. Briers and Thorns Symbolic of desolation and judgment, these represent the consequences of turning away from God. 5. Vines and Shekels Vines symbolize prosperity and abundance, while shekels of silver indicate wealth. Their loss signifies the impending judgment and desolation due to disobedience. Teaching Points The Consequences of DisobedienceIsaiah 7:23 serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from God. Just as Judah faced desolation, we too can experience spiritual barrenness when we prioritize worldly alliances over divine guidance. The Importance of Faithfulness The prophecy highlights the importance of remaining faithful to God. In times of trouble, rather than seeking security in worldly solutions, we should trust in God's promises and guidance. Symbolism of Prosperity and Judgment The transition from vines to briers symbolizes the loss of prosperity due to disobedience. This serves as a warning to evaluate our lives and ensure that our prosperity is rooted in God’s will. Hope Amidst Judgment While the prophecy speaks of judgment, it also implies the possibility of restoration. God’s discipline is meant to bring us back to Him, offering hope for renewal and redemption.(23) Where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings.--The words seem to contain an allusive reference to Song of Solomon 8:11, and are therefore worth noting as bearing on the date of that book. There, however, the sum represents the annual produce of the vineyard, here the rent of the vines at a shekel each, a high rent apparently, and indicating a choice quality of vine. The costly vineyards of the hills of Judah should be left to run wild without a keeper (Isaiah 5:10), and thorns and briers would rapidly cover it. "Silverling" was an old English word for any silver coin, and appears in Tyndale's version of Acts 19:19, and Coverdale's of Judges 9:4; Judges 16:5; here it stands for "shekel." The modern rent is said to be a piastre (2�d.) for each vine; the shekel was worth 2s. 3 d. (Kay).Verse 23. - A thousand vines at a thousand silverlings. By "silverlings" our translators mean "pieces of silver," probably shekels. "A thousand vines at a thousand shekels" may mean either a thousand vines worth that amount, or a thousand vines rented at that sum annually (comp. Song of Solomon 8:11). The latter would point to vineyards of unusual goodness, since the shekel is at least eighteen pence, and the present rent of a vineyard in Palestine is at the rate of a piastre for each vine, or 2½d. The general meaning would seem to be that not even the best vineyards would be cultivated, but would lie waste, and grow only "briers and thorns." Parallel Commentaries ...
