Chapter 7 was a warning to Ahaz that he needed to place his confidence in God (don’t fear Israel, nor Syria and don’t place faith in Assyria)
Chapter 8 is a warning to the people over the exact same thing, but its given to the people of Judah
Isaiah’s warning to them can be seen in four phases
Foretelling- Things are about to change
Swift is the booty; quick is the prey.
Two hostile witnesses made record of this.
Uriah was a priest faithful to the King; Zechariah was the King’s Father in law.
This is similar to a magician who has someone write something down, then tricks the audience into believing he knew what it was.
In this case its no trick.
These things will happen before the son is able to call out mother or father.
Imminence is in view… When Jesus comes it will be quick.
Flood- Assyria is coming like a flood
Judah is not satisfied with the peaceful waters that flowed with Siloam (same word)
Judah’s King had gone and made an alliance with the King of Assyria (which would be like allying with Hitler- the alliance was only as good as it met Hitler’s need and then you became the target)
Since Judah had aligned itself and trusted in Assyria, it could expect Assyria to “flood them” up to the neck.
(Isaiah’s other son’s name meant a remnant would remain)
How many times have we opened ourselves up to all kinds of problems simply because we abandon a close and clean walk with the lord and start trusting in other things, other people, or priorities?
Fear- Give reverence to the Lord
I was busy writing this outline in a hotel lobby in Huntsville.
I looked up and CBS News had Al Gore on pushing Climate Change.
Fear-mongering to make a dollar.
And people look him and take him seriously.
Again, I believe we should manage well the Earth that God put us on.
But this is my Father’s World
This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.This is my Father’s world.
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.
Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
God’s got this, and He’s surely going to take care of me.
Follow- Obey the Word of the Lord
Here God rules out the need to trust in all the fluky stuff people trust, and simply cling to His Word in Faith filled obedience, believing that He alone should be consulted for the affairs of life.
