Many believe the prophecy of a virgin birth in Isaiah is about a young woman, but this is not the case when we look at the original Greek text. The Septuagint, which is the Greek Old Testament used by the apostles, clearly states in Isaiah 7:14 that a 'virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be Emmanuel.' The word used is 'parthenos,' which unambiguously means virgin. This reading was established hundreds of years before the Masoretic Text, which some claim only suggests a young woman. When the Gospel of Matthew quotes this prophecy in Matthew 1:23, it is drawing directly from this Greek source, affirming the virgin birth of Christ as foretold by the prophets. This is not a reinterpretation or a later addition, but the original prophecy as it was always understood by early Christians. → Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23 Read the whole Bible, Septuagint and KJV side by side, at sovereignlogos.com Free Bible app: sovereignlogos.com/app #seekingtruth #bibleprophecy #septuagint #virginbirth #emmanuel #christianity #biblicalstudies #ancienttexts #SovereignLogos #BibleStudy #Scripture #KJV #BiblicalTruth #ChristianShorts #BibleExplained #WordOfGod #Jesus #OldTestament #NewTestament #BibleVerse
