Bible School Lesson Study!
Sunday, September 23rd By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb.
"Isaiah Counsels Rulers"
We study today cue of the most
picturesque and meaningful events of
the Bible, the proud onset of Senna
cherib against Jerusalem, Hezekiah's
prayer against him and the glorious
victory that God gave him in .answer
to prayer. This is a .lesson in.lhjeLre-
sponse that God will" make ttrany
faith-lilled prayer. In this connection,
we study the perils that beset a na
tion, the evil forces of politics, society,
business, infidelity, drunkenness, and
gambling licentiousness, class and
racial antagonism the threat of war,
There are enough of these enemies to
supply the hour with vital themes,
and in regard to them all the only re
course is the aid of God, obtained
through prayers in the name of his
Son, and the pewer of the Holy
Spirit.
In the seventh chapter of Isaiah we
read of a great conspiracy, by Rezin,
king cf Syria, and Rekah, king of Is
rael, to vex Jerusalem and take it
cetting Tabeal up as king. Isaiah re
ceived word from God to tell Ahaz:
"Thus saith the Lord God, It (the
conspiracy) shall not stand, neither
Lhall it come to pass." Ahaz i3 thus
assured by tho prophet that he need
Siot fear, because the counsel of his
enemies "is evil." God will frustrate
their plans. So does our God protect
his children who trust in Him.
Isaiah was a statesman as well as
a preacher. In Chap. 31 we see him
in the inirlst cf one of the greatest
battles for national safety. In the
days of King Hezekiah, the mighty
Assyrian Empire threatened Judah; a
powerful group cf Jewish nobles ad
vocated an alliance with the second
world power of the tirr.es Egypt.
Thi3 Isaaiah opposed. He knew the
,-nilitary strength of Egypt was very
greatly exaggerated and played up;
he knew abo that Egypt would not
keep faith with Judah. In this judg
ment, the prophet was proven correct
by the cour-r-ei of history. But Isaiah's
counsel was not heeded. Even as he
wrote this prophecy, the heavily laden
camel train of Jewish ambassadors
was on its way across the desert to
Pharaoh's court, whore promise3
would be abundant, but fulfillment
Bcanty. Judah being a hilly country,
horses were of little una; the level
plains of Egypt would do for chariots,
but were of little use in Judah.
Men who plan and go to war, do
not ask counsel of God. To Isaiah God
is the "Holy One in Israel." He i3 the
God of righteousness. War is a child
of hell. There is never anything right
about war. It settles nothing. When
the warring nations are exhausted,
then they come together and "talk it
over." Far better that they do this
before it would save much heart
ache and sorrow. Had the nations
read the Bible and Isaiah's counsel,
there would not have been a world
war less than a decade ago.
" These Jewish ambassadors thought
their move to effect an alliance with
Egypt was a shrewd act in safeguard
ing the Jews, and charged Isaiah with
utter folly in his opposition to what
seemed to them a wise move. But God,
in hi3 wisdom, sees that only harm
and a great disaster must follow if
these plans are. carried out. .The word
of warning has gone forth and ;will
net be recalled. Behold with what
eloquence the prophet pleads!
Israel's strength had always been
in Jehovah, and many a victory had
they won by trusting implicitly in
Him why now forsake God and put
their trust in men and horses? Men
are safe only as they put their trust
in God.
God is likened here a3 a Lion who
is not scared by the loud noise of a
multitude. As a lion holds on to its
prey, so will Jehovah keep guard on
Jerusalem Christ is "the Lion of
Judah." He i3 our strength and He
has said to his followers: "My sheep
shall never perish, and no one shall
snatch them out of my hand." (John
10:27-2S). Another form of langu
age is used to show God's tender care
of them that trust in him. Like the
mother-bird covers her brood with her
wings, so "He shall cover thee with
his feathers, and under His wings
shalt thou tru3t."
"Under Hi3 wings, I am
safely abiding;
Tho' the night deepens and
temperts are wild;
Still I can trust Him; I know
He will keep me
He has redeemed me and I
am Hi3 child."
Oh that men would listen to that
pleading voice of the man of God:
"Turn ye unto him from whom ye
have deeply revolted, O children of
Israel."
God made good his promise and the
Assyrians' doom came to pas3 as fore
told. Now comes Sennacherib and
endangers Judah; boasting Rabshak
eh told the Jews of the great power
cf his master and the victories won
how no one could stand out against
him. When Hezekiah heard this, he
went into the house of God and told
him that this heathen general had in
sulted and blasphemed God. Isaiah
also had a message cf encouragement
for the king.
Gcd heard the prayer of Hezekiah
and a great deliverance wa3 granted.
185,000 Assyrians were slain that
,night the whole army was destroy
ed. Sennacherib never tried again to
cenquer the Jews.
The result of all this warfare and
devine help in time of need was the
uprooting of idclitry in Judah and
Jehovah was worshiped. The fear of
Gcd wa3 upon the nations. Would
that men today would listen to wise
counsel and trust in God! What a
beautiful and lovely world this would
ba to live in; what a happy, glorious
a::d contented life man would lead!
.Why net give Gcd a chance?
