SPIRITUAL DIARY
My Worship Time Focus: Hezekiah the victor PT. 3
(Deliverance)
Bible Reading
& Meditation Reference: 2Ki. 19:28, 30-37; 2Chron. 32:21-22;
Isa. 37:31-38
Message of the verses: “28 ’Because
of your raging against Me, And because your arrogance has come up to My ears,
Therefore I will put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And I
will turn you back by the way which you came.”
“30 ’The surviving remnant of the house of Judah
will again take root downward and bear fruit upward. 31 ’For out of Jerusalem will go forth a
remnant, and out of Mount Zion survivors. The zeal of the LORD will perform
this. 32 ’Therefore thus says the LORD
concerning the king of Assyria, "He will not come to this city or shoot an
arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield or throw up a siege
ramp against it. 33 "By the way
that he came, by the same he will return, and he shall not come to this
city,"’ declares the LORD. 34 ’For
I will defend this city to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s
sake.’"
“35
¶ Then it happened that night that the
angel of the LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and
when men rose early in the morning, behold, all of them were dead. 36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and
returned home, and lived at Nineveh. 37
It came about as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that
Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword; and they escaped into the
land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.”
“21 And the LORD sent an angel who destroyed
every mighty warrior, commander and officer in the camp of the king of Assyria.
So he returned in shame to his own land. And when he had entered the temple of
his god, some of his own children killed him there with the sword. 22 So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and
from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.”
“31 "The surviving remnant of the house of
Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward. 32 "For out of Jerusalem will go forth a
remnant and out of Mount Zion survivors. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will
perform this."’ 33 "Therefore,
thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, ’He will not come to this
city or shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield, or
throw up a siege ramp against it. 34 ’By
the way that he came, by the same he will return, and he will not come to this
city,’ declares the LORD. 35 ’For I will
defend this city to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s
sake.’" 36 Then the angel of the
LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose
early in the morning, behold, all of these were dead. 37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and
returned home and lived at Nineveh. 38
It came about as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that
Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons killed him with the sword; and they escaped
into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.”
The Rabshakeh
was boasting that one of his junior officers was stronger than 2000 Jewish
charioteers” 8 "Now therefore, come
make a bargain with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two
thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.9 "How then can you repulse one official
of the least of my master’s servants and rely on Egypt for chariots and for
horsemen ( Isa. 36:8-9) One of the
Lord’s angels came into the camp of the Assyrians and killed 185,000 soldiers
in one night. No boasting was needed as
the power of the Lord took care of the Assyrians.
Dr. Wiersbe asks
and answers two important questions that I will close this section with: “Why did God deliver His people? For the glory of His own name, of course, and
for the sake of David whom he loved (19:34).
Why does He bless His people today?
For the sake of His own glory and because of His love for His own Son
who died for us.”
Spiritual meaning for my life today: I believe that one begins to understand the
glory of the Lord that one will understand the Lord of Glory better for the
glory of the Lord is seen in all of His attributes, and to understand the Lord
one must begin to understand His attributes.
When one understands His attributes then one will be able to understand
what is going on in the Word of God in a more fulfilling way.
