**CHAPTER 8**
Jehovah’s Word Through Isaiah and the Assyrian Announced
1. *The divine instruction and Maher-shalal-hash-baz ([Isaiah 8:1-4](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/1-4)* *)* 2. *The Assyrian to come ([Isaiah 8:5-8](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/5-8)* *)* 3. *The answer of faith ([Isaiah 8:9-10](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/9-10)* *)* 4. *A word to the faithful remnant ([Isaiah 8:11-20](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/11-20)* *)* 5. *The coming great distress ([Isaiah 8:21-22](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/21-22)* *)* The names are significant. Isaiah heard the word “Maher-shalal-hash-baz,” and then is told to call his newborn son by this name. The name means “swift for spoil, hasty for prey.” Isaiah’s other son was named “Shear-Jashub,” which means “a remnant shall return.” The names of the sure witnesses are equally full of meaning. Urijah (Jehovah is light), Zechariah (Jehovah remembers), and Jeberechiah (Blessed of Jehovah).
[Isaiah 8:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/14) and [Isaiah 8:15](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/15) are deeply interesting. It is the rejection of Immanuel, Christ. Compare with [Isaiah 28:16](../../../kjv/isaiah/28/16) and read the following passages: [Luke 2:34](../../../kjv/luke/2/34) ; [Luke 20:18](../../../kjv/luke/20/18) ; [Matthew 21:44](../../../kjv/matthew/21/44) ; [Romans 9:32-33](../../../kjv/romans/9/32-33) ;[1 Peter 2:8](../../../kjv/1-peter/2/8) .
Also note the quotation of [Isaiah 8:18](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/18) in [Hebrews 2:13](../../../kjv/hebrews/2/13) . The great distress is a description of what awaits apostate Israel.
