Isaiah 7:14 — "Virgin or Young Woman"

The Redeemed Christian Church of God affirms the traditional evangelical reading of Isaiah 7:14 as a prophecy of the virgin birth. The Hebrew word עַלְמָה ('almah') is interpreted as 'virgin' (not merely 'young woman'), and the sign is understood as fundamentally miraculous: the Messiah would be born of a virgin mother without male human parentage. This interpretation aligns with Matthew 1:23, which explicitly applies Isaiah 7:14 to Mary's conception of Jesus.

For RCCG, the virgin birth is non-negotiable in Christology and soteriology. It affirms the supernatural entry of God's Son into human history, the sinlessness of Christ's nature, and the reality of the incarnation as a unique and unprecedented divine act. The Pentecostal emphasis on divine power and intervention reinforces the belief in this miraculous interpretation.
