Feb 22 – Living Example - Isaiah 8:1-4
Isaiah was to become like Hosea a living example. He was to take a large scroll make or either sheep skin or leather. He was to take an ordinary pen most likely a quill or flint pen. Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.” Means to quicken the plunder. The witnesses to be called to this event were Uriah who was a priest and Jeberekiah who were considered as reliable witnesses who would verify what was happening.
He was then to have a child with a fellow prophetess so in ancient Judah the office of a prophet could be male or female. Huldah was such a woman. They were to have a child named this. This would be a sign that this event was going to happen. Hosea had a similar experience with Gomer. This was a common practice in prophetic families. Before the child would be able to speak this event would happen where both the wealth of Syria and Isarel would be carried off by Assyria. This meant that the judgment of God was about to happen.
