God Exalted in Judgment

Isa 33:1-12

Here we have the final prediction against Sennacherib. He had dealt very treacherously by returning against Jerusalem, though he had taken a heavy ransom to leave it unmolested, 2Ki 18:16. In Isa 33:2 Isaiah recalls the daily prayer offered by the priests in the Temple, when they heard of the steady advance of the foe. It was quite true that nations had fled before the dreaded Assyrian, Isa 33:3; but in this case those precedents would be reversed, Isa 33:4, because the Lord would appear for His people, Isa 33:5. That was a sweet assurance that the prophet gave to Hezekiah in Isa 33:6 -to sustain his spirit through the strain of the invasion described in Isa 33:7-8. God always gives us a promise on the eve of trial. He victuals His ships ere He exposes them to the storm. Though God sometimes seems to sleep yet when the hour strikes for the deliverance of His people, He will not tarry for a single moment. Be of good cheer; He will ride upon the wings of the wind to succor you!
