The vision of the » Is. Viii. 8. * Ver. 10. OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECY 135 prophet sweeps far beyond present events — beyond the defeat of Syria and Ephraim ; beyond even the devasta- tions of the Assyrian invasions ; and he beholds in this Son that should be born, this child that should be given — who can be no other than the Messianic King — the security for the fulfilment of the promises to David, and the hope for the future of the world. The other elements of the prophecy fall naturally into th...eir places on this interpretation — -even the time-ele- ments, provided allowance is made for the character of prophetic vision. To the prophet's view the maiden's child is already there ; is already conceived ; is about to be born ; he can speak as if the period of its arrival at the discernment of good and evil defined the limit of this confederacy of Syria and Ephraim (ver. 14). But again his vision stretches far beyond that limit into the time of the Assyrian invasions, then, leaving even these behind, sees this child of David's line, of the wonderful names, firmly established on His throne.
