March 29 – Alliance Falls - Isaiah 17:1-3
At the time of
the writing the cites of Syria and the Northern Kingdoms were aligned against
Judah. Isaiah says that the city and
confederation of the two countries will be destroyed by the Assyrian
empire. The capital of this
confederation called Damascus will be destroyed and a heap of ruins. Fear will grip the population and they will
dessert their homes and flee. The
alliance between Israel and Syria will fall and be destroyed.
All that will
be left is a remnant and small number of people. This is what happens to anyone who attacks
Isarel. Theya re not fighting a people
but they are fighting the Lord. Paul
learned that lesson when he was persecuting the church. Jesus told him that he was attacking Him not
the people. God is our protection. This was a powerful lesson that Isarel and
Syria would learn the heard way.
