In Isaiah 8:9-22, we are shown 3 truths concerning the promise of Immanuel. I. God is with us when thwarting the enemy's plans (v. 11). II. Yahweh is with and speaks to His prophet. A. Don't . . . 1. Walk as unbelievers walk (v. 11). 2. Think like unbelievers think (v. 12a). 3. Fear what unbelievers fear (v. 12b). 4. Dread (v. 12c). B. Do . . . 1. Honor Yahweh as holy (v. 13a). 2. Fear Yahweh (v. 13b). 3. Dread Yahweh (v. 13c). III. Yahweh reveals the nature of His presence: A. To those who honor and fear him: a sanctuary (v. 14a). 1. They will preserve the word (v. 16). 2. They will wait on Yahweh (v. 17a). 3. They will hope in Yahweh (v. 17c). 4. They will be signs to the lost (v. 18). 5. They will obey the word (v. 20a). B. To those who disobey him: destruction (vs. 14b-15). 1. They will not seek truth from God (vs. 19, 20b). 2. They will arrogantly curse both king and God for their judgment (v. 21). 3. They will search the earth for relief but find only darkness (v. 22a). 4. God will thrust them into deeper darkness (v. 22b).
