Wallace Fetzer's comment on 2013-10-03 23:10:12:

What is the historical event that Isaiah is referring to when talking about losing the first child?
Is it Abel? Joseph sold into Egypt?
Can it be a future reference to the coming Babilonian captivity and destruction of Jerusalem....prophetic?
For me and my wife it was our first child that died her first day. Now we have 16 more and 11 are adopted. I believe this scripture is about adoption into Heavenly Fathers family where Kings and Queens carry them a d Seal them in the Temple.
