Lesson Text.--lsaiah 9:l-7. At the
time of this prophecy, Jerusalem
was threatened with attack by the
combined forces of Pekah. king OK
Israel. and Rein, king OF Damascus.
Isaiah tries to strengthen the timid
Ahaz, king of Judah, by pointing nm
TO God as a sufficient helper. 1t Is III
this endeayor that we have this por-
trait of the Mcssianic King.
The king OF Judah, Ahaz, was
weak. timd and wicked. When Rein,
king of Damascus and Pckah, KING
of Israel, combined against him, he
was at complete loss how TO meet
their attack lie tried every scheme
he could think of except u hearty re-
pentance and return TO the service OF
God. The people as "A whole took the

Of those who sought guidance and

through time of darkness and
anguish in which they find no relief.
From a weakened remnant, dimin-
