Isa 8:8 -
Not till then would this overflowing reach as far as Judah, but then
it would do so most certainly and incessantly.”And presses forward
into Judah, overflows and pours onward, till it reaches to the neck,
and the spreading out of its wings fill the breadth of thy land,
Immanuel.”
The fate of Judah would be different from that of Ephraim. Ephraim
would be laid completely under water by the river, i.e., would be
utterly destroyed. And in Judah the stream, as it rushed forward,
would reach the most dangerous height; but if a deliverer could be
found, there was still a possibility of its being saved. Such a
deliverer was Immanuel, whom the prophet sees in the light of the
Spirit living through all the Assyrian calamities.
