 March 8 – The Promise – Isaiah 10:26-34

 

     Isaiah reminds his audience of how the Lord brought down Midian’s at the rock of Oreb and the Egyptians at the Red Sea.  In that day their yoke around your neck will be broken even though they had become fat. 

     The prophet lists a series of communities in Isarel and Judah which the enemy had entered and taken.  He then tells them that at the city of Nob they will be stopped.  This is a wonderful promise that Judah will not fall to the Assyrians.  They will not enter Jerusalem.  The Lord will lop off their boughs of power.  The arrogance they displayed will cut down like a tall tree.  As a fire rages through a forest even power Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.  The remnant will be saved.  The enemy destroyed and God will get all the glory.
