May 18th:Joshua 2, Isaiah 8 and 1 Thessalonians 3-4

Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. Yes. Right there, that is the name of my first kid. Doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. That is for-sure the kid's name.

Moving through this chapter there is a verse there that I'm not sure what it means. It says:

"Then I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son." Is this saying that Isaiah had "relations with that women?" It would appear because it says she conceived. Just curious how I am supposed to understand this passage.

It might make the birds and the bees and waiting talk a little weird with Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.

  1. He sure did have relations with (his wife)the prophetess. He was a prophet therfore in their culture her referance is prophetess. He did'nt do anything wrong. good question. the purpose of the child was to continue to carry the same message ashis father the prophet,with God the message must always go forward. U.D.

  2. If you really name your child that, you're going to have to teach me how to pronounce it! Can you go with a really cool middle name?!!
