Assyria and Bible Prophecy
Assyria will Plunder Damascus and
Samaria
"Then I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, "Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz; for before the child shall have knowledge to cry 'My father' and 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria." Isaiah 8:3-4
COMMENTARY - ISAIAH 8:3
3. prophetess--perhaps the same as the "virgin" (Isa 7:14), in
the interim married as Isaiah's second wife: this is in the primary and
temporary sense. Immanuel is even in this sense distinct from Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Thus nineteen months at least intervene from the prophecy (Isa 7:14), nine
before the birth of Immanuel, and ten from that time to the birth of Maher-shalal-hash-baz:
adding eleven or twelve months before the latter could cry, "Father" (Isa 8:4),
we have about three years in all, agreeing with Isa 7:15, 16. JFB
