"Isaiah Chapters 7 and 8, deal with the oracles, or prophetic messages that were attributed to Isaiah during the Syro-Ephramite crisis. These chapters present structural, literary, and philological problems. The many scholars, who have attempted to interpret the meaning of the oracles, their bearer, and their historical setting, have offered widely diverse solutions involving both higher and lower criticism. In this paper, following an independent critical literary analysis of the two chapters, together with an evaluation of the scholarship, the writer reached the following conclusions: 1) The oracles found in chapters 7 and 8 covered a period from the onset of the siege, through the rejection of God's word, to the description of the destruction of Judah by Assyria. 2) While both chapters share a common event, the focus of each of them is different. Chapter 7 focuses on Ahaz, the king of Judah. Chapter 8 focuses on the people of Judah. The interaction between Ahaz and the people of Judah is obvious both in the dilemma that they faced during the crisis and in the mutual destiny they suffered in its aftermath. 3) The underlying theme (the theopolotical perspective), is underscored by the use of the chiastic form shared by Isaiah 7:3-9 and all of Chapter 8. The repetition of the key phrase, wlo' yagum (7:7 and 8:10), supports this. And, 4) The catchword "Immanuel" (7:14, 8:8, and 8:10) unifies both chapters and serves to evaluate the crimes and punishments of both Ahaz and the people as being essentially the same."
