Assyrian Invasion Prophesied
Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary 1stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 2 Isa 30:8Hab 2:2-3Isa 8:3Job 19:23-24Jer 36:2Jer 36:28Jer 36:32Rev 13:18 And I will appoint for Myself trustworthy witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.” 2Ki 16:10-112Co 13:12Ki 16:15-162Ki 18:2Rut 4:10-11Rut 4:2
And I had relations with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz. Hos 1:3-92Ki 22:14Isa 7:13-14Jdg 4:4 For before the boy knows how to cry ‘Father’ or ‘Mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.” Rom 9:112Ki 16:92Ki 17:32Ki 17:5-6Deu 1:39Isa 10:6-14Isa 17:3Isa 7:15-16
And the LORD spoke to me further: Isa 7:10
“Because this people has rejected Jhn 9:7Neh 3:151Ki 7:162Ch 13:8-18Isa 5:24Isa 7:1-2Isa 7:6Jdg 9:16-20
the gently flowing waters of Shiloah
and rejoiced in Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,
the Lord will surely bring against them Isa 17:12-13Amo 8:8Amo 9:5Gen 6:17Isa 7:17Isa 7:202Ki 17:3-62Ki 18:9-12
the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates 3—
the king of Assyria and all his pomp.
It will overflow its channels
and overrun its banks.
It will pour into Judah, Isa 7:14Isa 30:28Mat 1:23Isa 28:14-22Ezk 17:3Isa 10:28-32Isa 22:1-7Isa 29:1-9
swirling and sweeping over it,
reaching up to the neck;
its spreading streams will cover
your entire land, O Immanuel! 4
Huddle together, 5 O peoples, and be shattered; Isa 14:5-61Ki 20:11Pro 11:21Psa 37:14-15Isa 17:12-13Isa 7:1-2Jol 3:9-14Isa 28:13
pay attention, all you distant lands;
prepare for battle, and be shattered;
prepare for battle, and be shattered!
Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; Lam 3:37Rom 8:31Job 5:12Pro 21:302Sa 15:31Psa 46:11Isa 7:5-7Psa 33:10-11
state a proposal, but it will not happen.
For God is with us. 6”
A Call to Fear God
(Ecclesiastes 8:10–13)
For this is what the LORD has spoken to me with a strong hand, instructing me not to walk in the way of this people: Ezk 3:14Pro 1:15Act 4:20Jer 15:19Jer 20:7Jer 20:9Psa 32:8Ezk 2:6-8
“Do not call conspiracy 1Pe 3:14-15Luk 21:9Isa 51:12-13Psa 53:5Isa 30:1Luk 12:4-52Ki 16:5-7Isa 57:9-11
everything these people regard as conspiracy.
Do not fear what they fear; 7
do not live in dread. 8
The LORD of Hosts is the One Luk 12:5Isa 26:3-4Rev 15:4Mat 10:28Psa 76:7Mal 2:5Num 20:12-13Gen 31:53
you shall regard as holy.
Only He should be feared;
only He should be dreaded.
And He will be a sanctuary— 1Pe 2:8Rom 9:32-33Isa 28:16Luk 2:34Ezk 11:16Psa 46:1-2Pro 18:10Psa 11:6
but to both houses of Israel
a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, 9
to the dwellers of Jerusalem
a trap and a snare.
Many will stumble over these; Mat 21:44Isa 28:13Luk 20:17-181Co 1:23Isa 59:10Jhn 6:66Mat 11:6Mat 15:14
they will fall and be broken;
they will be ensnared and captured.”
Bind up the testimony Dan 12:4Heb 3:51Co 2:14Deu 4:45Isa 29:11-12Mat 13:11Mrk 4:10-11Mrk 4:34
and seal the law among my disciples.
I will wait for the LORD, Heb 10:36-39Hab 2:3Lam 3:25-26Isa 25:9Psa 33:20Isa 54:8Deu 31:17-18Heb 9:28
who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob.
I will put my trust in Him. 10
Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me 11as signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. Heb 2:13-14Luk 2:34Zec 8:3Heb 12:22Isa 53:10Psa 71:71Ch 23:25Isa 24:23
Darkness and Light
When men tell you to consult the spirits of the dead and the spiritists who whisper and mutter, shouldn’t a people consult their God instead? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 1Ch 10:13Lev 20:62Ch 33:6Psa 106:28Lev 19:311Sa 28:8Deu 18:11Isa 19:3 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. 2Pe 1:192Ti 3:15-17Act 17:11Jhn 5:39Psa 119:130Isa 30:8-11Jhn 5:46-47Hos 6:3
They will roam the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged; and looking upward, they will curse their king and their God. Isa 9:20Pro 19:32Ki 25:3Deu 28:33-34Deu 28:53-57Exo 22:28Isa 8:7-8Jer 14:18 Then they will look to the earth and see only distress and darkness and the gloom of anguish. And they will be driven into utter darkness. Isa 5:30Jer 13:16Mat 22:13Mat 8:12Jer 30:6-7Job 18:18Jud 1:13Pro 14:32
