Isaiah49:1

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called mefrom the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

Listen, O isles

Psalm 97:1

The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be gladthereof.

Big and small, far and near, nations are invited to listen to the Lord.

Habakkuk 2:14

For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of theLORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Listen, O isles, unto me; (Who is this speaking in first person?)

Isaiah48:16

Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, andhis Spirit, hath sent me.

Israel speaks:

Isaiah 49:14

But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgottenme.

The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of mymother hath he made mention of my name.Both Isaiah 7:14 and Matt 1:21 show this prophecy fulfilled

Isaiah

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall

7:14

conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew1:21

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for heshall save his people from their sins.

Matthew1:22

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of theLord by the prophet, saying,

Matthew1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and theyshall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Luke1:31

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shaltcall his name JESUS.

There is no mention of the Father because there is no earthly Father:

Genesis3:14

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thouart cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy bellyshalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

Genesis3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed andher seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Genesis3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thyseed and

her seed

; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise hisheel.

Genesis3:16

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thyconception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desireshall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.Centuries later, it was the prophet Isaiah who explained why the Messiah would bereckoned after the woman. In Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah writes:
