Isaiah 36:
Assyria captured Judah and sent a
request to Hezekiah, king of Judah, in Jerusalem asking who the king rely on?
Is it Egypt that cannot be trusted, your weak military strategy, or God, whose
altar you have destroyed and replaced with idols? It was God that told Assyria
to attack Judah and Assyria will give Judah 2000 horses if Judah becomes Assyrian
ally. The commander of the Assyrian army then shouted aloud to the people of
Judah to ignore their king because God was not going to deliver them. So
God uses godless nations against another godless nation in an attempt to make
get repentance and worshippers.
Isaiah 37:
Hezekiah, king of Judah, sends
words to Isaiah about the offer of the Assyrian king to destroy Judah and mocked
that God cannot deliver Judah from his hands. Isaiah assures the king that the
Assyrians will get a report that will send them back home and there the Assyrian
king will be cut off. Soon, the Assyrian king got reports that the Ethiopian
king of Egypt was coming to fight him, so he sent a message to Judah that no God
can prevent their destruction like he destroyed other kingdoms. This
scared the king of Judah and he prayed to God. Isaiah then told the king
that because he prayed to God that God was going to fight on his behalf.
An angel of God then put 185,000 Assyrian men to death, so the king of Assyria
had to return home. While he was worshipping his god, the Assyrian king
was assassinated.
Never envy and fear any power of nations, people, or an individual because they
cannot really guarantee their own life or the next minute. Just do what is
right by God's standard and ignore any consequences that may follow. You
will always see the wicked and their empire or corporations fall with time. |

Isaiah 38:
Hezekiah, king of Judah, was
dying, so Isaiah told him that God wanted him to put his house in order because
he was going to die. So the king prayed and cried to God and because of it, God
added 15 more years to his life. Always pray to God and ask for assistance or
guidance. No one can guarantee anything but God. The wealth, power,
and promotion of humans are meaningless. In fact, it is even better to
walk away with nothing, faith, and peace of mind than to dwell in the reward
from people.
