Study Note
The defiant pronouncement 'counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us' (Immanuel) answers the political conspiracies threatening Judah in Isaiah's own day. The phrase 'Immanuel' (God with us) first appears in Isaiah 7:14 as a sign to Ahaz, and here functions as both a battle cry and a theological anchor. Matthew 1:23 cites Isaiah 7:14 as fulfilled in the birth of Jesus, but this verse shows that Immanuel is also a statement of present divine protection against human political scheming — a theme that runs through both Testaments.
