It was 700 years between Isaiah’s prophecy of, “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14) and the actual virgin birth of Jesus Christ. Isaiah used the strictest sense of the word for virgin in his prophecy, as did Mary herself when the angel announced to her this miraculous conception… she asked him, “How will this be since I am a virgin?” (or in other words, emphatically stating, ” I have absolutely not known a man sexually)?” The virgin birth is one of the greatest mysteries, and those who do not believe it usually don’t believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus was born of a woman to demonstrate that He was indeed human and one of us…minus one thing though… and that because He was also fully God, He was not born with a sin nature.
