Isaiah 7:3

1834–1892
Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"Then said Jehovah unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller`s field;" — Isaiah 7:3 (ASV)

Then said the LORD to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shear-jashub your son,

Shear-jashub was only a child; and why Isaiah was to take his son with him is not apparent, except that his name signifies, "The remnant shall return," and it was part of the prophet's message that the remnant, the people who had been carried away captive, should return.

At the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;

God knows the exact spot where His servants will meet with the men to whom He sends them. There is a corner where the fuller's field just juts out to the upper pool; there Isaiah will meet King Ahaz, and there he is to speak to him. Is there any spot just by the Elephant and Castle where God intends to meet with some soul tonight? I pray that it may be so.
