Listen "Isaiah 36: Who Will You Trust In? The Rabshakeh for All to Hear -- 2019/11/08"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. Scott Adle, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Collinsville, Illinois, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Isaiah 36.
After 35 chapters of predictions, the Assyrians have finally come. Chapters 36 to 39 seem to quote from 2 Kings, proving that Isaiah wasn’t just speaking fanciful words of theology in poetic flourishes; theology is God’s real-life plan for human history.
In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib of Assyria came and destroyed the whole country of Judah, except for the capital of Jerusalem. Walled up with no allies, not enough men, and not enough food, with their own God angry at them for their sin, the situation seemed totally hopeless. It was the Red Sea all over again—no way out. Yet, nothing is impossible for the Creator of heaven and earth. Who will you trust in?
