The verse 16 is found in chapter 7 of Isaiah. The sign of Immanuel appears amid the crisis caused by Ahaz’s unbelief. The announced child becomes a sign that God continues to act in history, while the territory of the enemies will be affected by political and agricultural changes. The passage combines a concrete historical situation with a sign whose meaning extends beyond the immediate moment.
