Commentary on Isaiah 7:5
The conspiracy of Syria, Ephraim, and Remaliah's son (Pekah) 'taking evil counsel' against Judah emphasizes human plotting that cannot thwart divine purposes. The phrase 'taken evil counsel' indicates deliberate malice, yet verse 7 declares God's verdict: 'It shall not stand.' This demonstrates the Reformed conviction that human counsel without divine approval is vanity (Psalm 2:1-4), and that God's purposes always prevail over human scheming (Proverbs 19:21).
