Isaiah 36 – Historical Events

 

This chapter through Chapter 39 are repeats of 2 Kings 18-19 and 2 Chronicles 32.

 

Isaiah warned that the Assyrian army was coming and now it surrounded Jerusalem.

Assyria conquered Israel and then moved into Judah where it captured every fortified city. From the words of the Rabshakeh, you can learn much about warfare against your own spiritual enemy, the devil.

 

Satan is proud and confident of victory. He tries to frighten you into surrendering. He knows that the most important thing is where you put your faith. Are you trusting in the world, yourself, or the Lord?

 

The enemy offers to give you something in return for your obedience, but there is always an “until” involved. He wants you to think that his gifts are as good as the Lord’s gifts and that the Lord cannot be trusted to help you.

 

Use the shield of faith to quench those fiery darts (Eph. 6:16) and never negotiate with Satan. Do what Hezekiah did: ask the Lord for help and believe His Word.

Remember that God always has a better plan than we can come up with. His words are true in all circumstances.

 

Please read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
