Matthew 1:20-23.
Joseph had this in mind when a angel of the Lord appeared to
him in a dream. The angel said to him, "Joseph, descendant of David,
don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She is pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
She will give birth to a son, and will name him Jesus [He Saves],
because he will save his people from their sins." All this happened so
that what the Lord had spoken through the prophet came true:
"The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they
will name him Immanuel," which means
"God is with us." (GWT)
Even though there was uncertainty of the words Isaiah spoke of, Matthew makes it clear that his words will find their ultimate fulfillment in the virgin birth of Jesus.
The eighth day of prophecies will be next...
