Isaiah 14: Textual Analysis

Isaiah 58:6-14 is a very powerful passage. The first bible version that I read it in was the King James Version. That version didn't really make very much sense to me because of all the "thou's" and "thee's" and "thines". So then I looked it up again in the New Revised Standard Version. It was a lot clearer when I looked it up in that bible. There are a few similarities and differences from the different versions that I read. The two that stood out the most to me was the King James Version, and the New Revised Standard Version. The differences were like night and day. Probably because they were the first two that I read, and maybe because the King James Version, like I said earlier, has a lot of the "1800's language," like "thou"

Hindson and others such as Ramm point out a conceptual flaw in the hermeneutics of dual-fulfillment. A prophecy cannot have multiple meanings just to fit the ideas of the reader. A proper hermeneutical involves the concept of word study which Hindson carefully looks at. There is significance in Isaiah’s use of words such as therefore, sign, behold, and many other words in the passage. Digging into the words and the context surrounding them, Hindson reveals that there is a great amount of evidence that points to the woman in the passage being a virgin who is still a virgin even after becoming pregnant with child (44).
