So as the Assyrians threaten, what will the nation do?
Rabshekah’s defiance
Isaiah 36:12-20
Siege of Jerusalem prophesied
Isaiah 29:1-8
The Jew’s hypocrisy
Isaiah 29:9-16
Future blessings
Isaiah 29:17-24
The Jews reproved
Isaiah 30:1-7
The disobedient people
Isaiah 30:8-17
God’s mercies
Isaiah 30:18-26
Final ruin of the Assyrians
Isaiah 30:27-33
The folly of seeking help
Isaiah 31:1-3
God’s care for Jerusalem
Isaiah 31:4-9
The people received the challenging words of Assyria’s commander in stony silence. They can’t see how God is going to rescue them, but they’re not giving in just yet. God promises through Isaiah that Jerusalem’s enemies will be miraculously overthrown, and all the people can do is wait and see if it will happen.
“People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help!” (Isaiah 30:19) This is the promise, but how can it possibly be fulfilled? Assyrian’s armies are irresistable, far stronger than any other. But God promises “The voice of the LORD will shatter Assyria; with his rod he will strike them down.” (30:31)
