Dear Ebony,
You generally come across as someone with good human intellect. don't let 'MEDICINE WOMAN"(She has no medicine!), mislead you into the emptiness,arrogance and hattred of Jesus she suffers from.
Isaiah first of all never had a son mentioned anywhere in the bible. Some of these earlier prophets lived celibate lives completely.
Medicine Woman is wrong to tell you that the prophet is talking about his own biological son. The prophet Isaiah calls male Child the everlasting father and the Mighty God. It is ignorant to say that Isaiah's son is the Mighty God and Everlasting father. We would have been told about him(Isaiah's son) numerous times in the bible if the Mighty God of the bible was Isaiah's son.
Isaiah was prophesying(seeing into the future through the spirit of God.)
Jesus was born 700 years after the death of prophet Isaiah.
When Jesus began his earthly ministry at the age of 30years(in jewish culture its the age of full maturity for a man) , he went to the synagogue/like a church. He sat at the front and asked for the book of prophet Isaiah. He found the place where it is written " The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me.For he has anointed me to pronounce recovery of sight to the blind, deliverance to the captives,to preach the good news to the poor, and proclaim the year of the Lord's favour".
Jesus read these words among others and said that that prophecy had then been fulfilled before their eyes.
Isaiah chapters 53 from verse 1 continues to talk about the crucifixion of jesus in detail.Just read the book, don't say you have nothing to do with the bible coz you don't believe it. As police investigators/detectives there is training that says don't throw away all leads before you have evaluated them. Analyzing even what could otherwise seem illogical always sheds some light to mysteries.iin this case God is the mystery.
So my buddy get the book of isaiah in the old testament and read chapter 53; it will tell you about the sufferings of christ,thats 700 years before it actually happened.
(as for Medicine Woman, you are 1000 times more logical than that bitter, hostile,Jesus-bashing 60yrs old woman!!)
