Isaiah 7:11 – From Sheol to Heaven
Yahweh tells wicked Ahaz to ask for a sign from from the depths of Sheol to the heights of heaven (7:11). Later, referring to the same Person who would be that sign, Immanuel, we find a different fulfillment:
Ephesians 4:9-10 (HCSB) 9) But what does “He ascended” mean except that He descended to the lower parts of the earth? 10) The One who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.
The sign Himself descended into Sheol/Hades and rose above the heavens to The Heaven.
