ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Isaiah 8

Isaiah 8 is a chapter in a very old book called the Bible. In this chapter, a man named Isaiah is talking to some people about a very important message from God.

Isaiah tells the people that God is going to protect the good people, but there will be consequences for the bad people. And then he talks about something called a "sign" that God is going to give them.

A sign is like a special symbol that tells you something important. And the sign that God is going to give is that a woman will have a baby and she will name him Immanuel. That means "God is with us" in a special way.

Isaiah also talks about two other places that the people are afraid of. One place is called Assyria and the other is called Egypt. But Isaiah says that they don't need to be afraid because God will protect them.

That's basically what Isaiah 8 is about. It's a message from God that tells the people to trust Him and not be afraid.
