Day 134

Isaiah 37; Isaiah 38; Isaiah 39; Isaiah 40; Isaiah 41

Hezekiah seeks counsel from Isaiah to save Jerusalem. Isaiah prophesies the defeat of the Assyrians and the death of Sennacherib. Hezekiah prays for deliverance. Sennacherib sends a blasphemous letter. Isaiah prophesies that the Assyrians will be destroyed and that a remnant of Judah will flourish. An angel slays 185,000 Assyrians. Sennacherib is slain by his sons. Hezekiah’s life is lengthened fifteen years. The sun goes back ten degrees as a sign. Hezekiah praises and thanks the Lord. Hezekiah reveals his wealth to Babylon. Isaiah prophesies the Babylonian captivity. Isaiah speaks about the Messiah. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. He will feed his flock like a shepherd. Israel’s God is incomparably great. To Israel the Lord says, Ye are my servants; I will preserve you. Idols are nothing. One will bring good tidings to Jerusalem.
