God will Defend This City

I've been reading this for three times now in a span of a week. It speaks of an invasion threatening Jerusalem, and with hundreds of thousands and a great army, Assyria wanted to invade the holy city.

Then King Hezekiah, who was so faithful to God that he stopped even the worship of Nehustan, the figure of a snake that was used by Moses to heal people. This was originally good, but people started burning incense to it, which, as you know God abhorrs. The power that was in it was God's but the thing itself should not be worshipped.. Hezekiah chopped this down and burnt it.

Now, Hezekiah prayed to be saved, and God promised that the invaders would not enter the city, and go back by the way they came.

I'm just extrapolating here, but I think the Chinese people were supposed to come in and invade the Philippines, and this was somehow related to the influx coming during Chinese New Year. Somehow, what happened was there was a virus that started in Wuhan, China, and now, all flights were closed from there, and the Chinese people are ina flurry trying to contain the virus. It is so bad that there was footage of three people dropping dead on the spot, and it seems the hospitals are not able to treat people. There was recent footage of dead bodies in the hospital which cannot be disposed of.

That seems to be the best explanation for this, unless there is another nation that wants to invade us in the near future. In any case, I don't take this lightly, and believe me, every death weighs heavy in my heart.

Here is the reading in detail:

So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said to them, You shall say this to your master, So says YAHWEH: Do not fear the words which you have heard, with which the followers of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me 7 Behold, I am giving into him a spirit, and he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. ____ 10 So you shall say to Hezekiah, king of Judah, saying, Do not let your Elohim in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the king of Assyria's hand. 11 Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, to destroy them utterly. And shall you be delivered? 12 Have the gods of the nations saved those whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozan and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden in Telassar2? 13 Where is Hamath's king, and Arpad's king, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah3? 14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the couriers, and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of YAHWEH and spread it before YAHWEH. 15 And Hezekiah prayed to YAHWEH, saying, 16 O YAHWEH of Hosts, Elohim of Israel, who sits between the cherubs4, You are He, Elohim, all the kingdoms of the earth come from you. You have made the heavens and the earth. 17 Bow down Your ear, O YAHWEH, and hear. Open Your eye, O YAHWEH, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib which he has sent, to reproach the living Elohim. _______ Here is Adonai ’s answer concerning him: “ ‘The virgin daughter of Tziyon despises you; she laughs you to scorn. The daughter of Yerushalayim shakes her head at you. 23 Whom have you mocked and reviled? And against whom have you lifted your voice, and lifted your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel! 24 By your servants, you have mocked YAHWEH, and said, By my many chariots I have come up to the tops of mountains, the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, its choice fir trees; and I will go to its greatest height, the forest of its fruitful field. (2Kgs 19:24) 25 I have dug and drunk water; and I have dried up the streams of Egypt with the sole of my feet. 26 Have you not heard it from afar? I have made it from days of old, even I formed it. Now I have caused it to come, and you are to cause fortified cities to crash into heaps, ruins. 27 And those living in it were short of hand, dismayed and ashamed. They were as the field grass and the green herbs; like the grass of the housetops, even blasted before it has risen. 28 But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against Me. 29 Because of your raging against Me, and your arrogance has come up to My ears, even I will put My hook in your nose1, and My bridle in your lips; and I will turn you back by the way you came in. 30 And this shall be the sign to you: You shall eat self-sown grain this year; and the second year, that which springs up; and in the third year you shall sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit2. 31 The remnant of the house of Judah that has escaped shall again take root downward, and it produces fruit upward. 32 For a remnant shall go out of Jerusalem, and the escaped ones out of Mount Zion; the zeal of YAHWEH of Hosts shall do this.

33 So YAHWEH says this to the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with a shield, nor pour out a siege mound on it. 34 He shall return by the same way that he came in, and he shall not come into this city, says YAHWEH. 35 For I will defend over this city to save it, for My own sake, and for My servant David's sake.

36 Then the Messenger of YAHWEH

went out and struck a hundred and

eighty five thousand in the camp of

Assyria.

(1 The Assyrians often led away their captives by tying ropes to rings placed in their noses. 2 YHWH is promising that they would not be destroyed and His sign is that He would grow the grain for survival for 2 yrs and they would be there in the third year to plant.)

When the people got up the next morning; and, behold! They were all dead corpses. 37 And Sennacherib, king of Assyria, set out, and went and returned; and he lived at Nineveh. 38 And it happened as he was worshiping in the house of his god Nisroch, even his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword. And they escaped into the land of Ararat. And his son Esar-Haddon reigned in his place
