The International Church of Christ affirms the traditional reading of Isaiah 7:14 as a messianic prophecy of the virgin birth. The Hebrew term 'almah' is understood as designating a virgin, consistent with the Septuagint rendering and Matthew's fulfillment claim. This interpretation is foundational to ICC's understanding of Jesus' incarnation and uniqueness.

The virgin birth is affirmed as a genuine historical and miraculous event, central to Christ's redemptive mission. Mary's virginity in the conception of Jesus is understood as establishing Jesus' divine nature and his role as Savior. The prophecy-fulfillment pattern is crucial to ICC's hermeneutical approach to Scripture.
