*Believe It Or Not*
*Text: Isaiah 7:10-16 (NIV)*
*10*Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, *11*“Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.”
*12*But Ahaz said, “I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test.”
*13*Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David!
Is it not enough to try the patience of men?
Will you try the patience of my God also?
*14*Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
*15*He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right.
*16*But before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
