ISAIAH 37

HEZEKIAH TURNS TO GOD IN PRAYER

Isaiah brings a message from God, telling King Hezekiah not to worry. God will allow confusion for the king of Assyria, causing him to turn around and leave Judah.

When Hezekiah hears the news that Assyria is threatening Judah, his response is to turn to God in prayer asking for protection.

God had already determined the fate of Judah and the later timing in which they would be captured. Assyria is far stronger, having defeated other greater nations, but God’s plans miraculously come to pass, and Judah is spared once again. Of the Assyrian army, 185,000 were killed, including King Sennacherib.
