When King Ahaz faithlessly refused to ask for a sign, God gave one anyway. Commentators like Calvin and Gill explain that this prophecy of the Messiah's birth was the ultimate assurance for Judah. It served as a guarantee that God's covenant plan would not fail and that their nation could not be destroyed, because the Savior had to come from their lineage.
