Listen "The Lord Delivers Jerusalem"
Episode Synopsis
The sermon centers on King Hezekiah's faithful response to the overwhelming threat of Assyria's invasion, highlighting his profound trust in God amid despair. When the Assyrian commander mocks God and undermines Hezekiah's authority, Hezekiah turns not to political alliances or military strategy, but to the house of the Lord, tearing his clothes, praying earnestly, and sending messengers to the prophet Isaiah. His prayer is a powerful affirmation of God's sovereignty, creatorship, and exclusive lordship over all nations, acknowledging Assyria's might while declaring that only the living God can deliver. In response, Isaiah delivers a prophetic word affirming that God will defend Jerusalem not by human strength, but by divine intervention—through a rumor that causes Sennacherib to retreat, and ultimately by the angel of the Lord striking down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. The narrative culminates in the triumph of God's honor over human pride, underscoring the enduring truth that true faith rests not in earthly power, but in the unshakable character of God, who fights for His name and fulfills His covenant promises.
