Isaiah 8:1–4 Explained

902. Isa. 8 : 1-4.

PLEASE explain Isa. 8 : 1-4.
The scripture is a graphic and striking prediction of the ruin of Damascus and Samaria by the king of Assyria, within what would probably be the space of three years, before the unbegotten child could say, My father, or, My mother. The name of the child meant, "The spoil speedeth, the prey hasteth." For the fulfilment of this see 2 Kings 15 : 29, 30.
