Isaiah 36:1 (KJV)
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
The Assyrian threat had begun years before it became a reality. Isaiah had prophesied concerning it during the reign of Ahaz. It did not happen until Hezekiah was king. My thought today is simply how much worse things would have been had Ahaz still been king.
Truly, history is the providence of God written in the notebook of man. Jerusalem would eventually be overtaken but it would not be now and it would not be by the Assyrians. God dictated these affairs to inform us of His rule, even in the most certain of matters. Sennacherib had no reason to believe he could be stopped. Hezekiah had no reason to believe he would be spared. But God spared him just the same.
A believing soul has no reason to ever let the course of this world influence his faith.
