What day is being spoken of here? It is the day that God spoke of in the previous chapter. It is a day that we have not seen yet. It is a day when we shall see worldwide revival, when we shall see people from all nations coming to Jesus, when, as Paul calls it, the fullness of the Gentiles

We read that Christ's resting place is glorious. What is that resting place? He who obeyed unto death, Who by His own shed blood rescued for eternity His own people, rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven. There He sits, reigning. His redemptive work is done. He reigns over and is conquering all things because of His redeeming work,

This prophecy is partially fulfilled by the envoys coming from the land of Babylon after Hezekiah has been used by God for the destruction of the great Assyrian army. (2 Kings 20:12-19; 2 Chronicles 32:31; Isaiah 39) There's also a partial fulfilment in 2 Chronicles 30. Hezekiah holds a great Passover, and he called for people to come down from

When God made the world, there was no such thing as death. When did death come in? When Adam ate the forbidden fruit. It used to be that man only ate fruits and vegetables and things like that.

In fact, the word 'Christ' is the Greek word for Messiah. Where does the Messiah come from? He is from the family of Jesse who was the father of King David.

We see the terror of destruction in verses 28-34. This is a description, years before, of how the Assyrians would invade -- and this is exactly the way they came. Isaiah, by the inspiration of God's Spirit, was able to see what would happen later in his life when the Assyrians came down. You see the terror and the fright

Assyria is at the height of its power, the height of its prestige. But it is God who has made Assyria to be strong and powerful. All oppressors are tools of God that He uses to purify His people. The true people of God are absolutely safe. They may have hard times to go through. True believers in the day

We see here, in the beginning of chapter ten, that oppression abounds. We read about the nature of this sin of oppression here. It's making unjust laws that call the evil good and good evil. Why do the wicked want to do this? The aim of this oppression is to remove the rights of the poor, as we see here
