make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land. P 24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD OF HOSTS , O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: 1 he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, 2 after the manner of Egypt. P The promise of defeat to Assyria (Fulfilled - Isa 37:36,37 - 701 BC) 25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, 3 and mine anger in their destruction. P 26 3 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him 4 according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and 5 as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt. P 27 3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. P The promise of Assyria to distress Judean cities (Fulfilled - II Chro 28:20,21 - 732 BC) 28 1 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages: P 29 1 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled. P 30 1 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth. P 31 1 Madmenah is removed; the inhabit- ants of Gebim gather themselves to flee. P 32 1 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. P 33 3 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the

10:24 God’s people are continually reminded to view their problems in light of God’s “promises” ( be not afraid of the Assyrian ). 10:28 The “cities” listed in verses 28-32 were smaller cities between Samaria and Jerusalem that were eventually taken by Assyria’s army. most wrathful (I Thess 5:9, Isa 24:1-14,17-20 & 26:20, Zeph 3:8 and Rev 12:12), and destructive time this earth has ever known (I Thess 5:3, Jere 30:5-8, Isa 66:7-8, Dan 12:1 and Mt 24:12-24,26,29,33-34). 11:1 Isaiah predicted that the tree of David would be reduced to a stump, the meaning behind “ out of the stem (or, stump) of Jesse ,” and that a “shoot” or “sprout” ( ROD ) would come forth out of the stump before it would flourish again. 11:4 Subject Head Officially, the DAY OF THE LORD ( Wrath – I Thess 5:2 and Rev 6:5,6-8a ) will begin when the Antichrist sets himself up as God in Jerusalem midway through the Tribulation (Dan 9:27 & 12:11, Rev 13:5-8 and II Thess 2:3-4), and will encompass 3½ years (Dan 7:25 & 12:7,11, Lk 21:24 and Rev 11:2 & 12:6,14 & 13:5) of the darkest (I Thess 5:2,4 and Isa 13:9-10), Second Coming in order to set up His 1000-year Millennial Kingdom (Rev 19:11-20:6). 11:4 This phrase ( But with righteousness ) deals with the characteristics of CHRIST’S Kingdom (Isa 11:4-16 and Gen 13:15 ). 12:1 a Isaiah goes from prophet to psalmist here ( I will praise thee ), and the hymn that follows is much like the hymn Moses constructed in Exodus 15. It is a hymn of praise in anticipation of Christ’s Kingdom.
