Isaiah 37:1-38
King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and went into the temple of the Lord. He prayed to the Lord. Prayed for the remnant that still survives.
Isaiah said to King Hezekiah's officials, "Do not be afraid of what you have heard. Listen! I am going to put a spirit in him so that when he hears a certain report, he wil return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the sword"
When Sennacherig received a report that Tirhakah the Cushite king of Egypt, was marchig out to fight him, he sent messengers to Hezekiah with his word again.
Hezekiah received the letter from the messensers and read it. He went up to the temple of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord and prayed. "... Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all kingdoms on earth may know that you alone, O Lord, are God."
Isaiah said to the king Hezekiah, " This will be the sign for you, O Hezekiah: .... Once more a remnant of the house of Judah will take root below and bear fruit above...The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this."
Why?
King Hezekiah humble himself and prayed to the Lord, relying on the God, so the Lord almigty save him and Judah. The leader of the king humble to the Lord, so the blessing and savior come upon this country.
Who dear insulted and blasphemed the Lord? Against the Holy One of Israel. All of these the Lord knows and God will revenge it for his Holy name.
Take root below and bear fruit above is the healthy growing and may live longer. So as a church, country and human's spiritual life.
How?
Trust in the Lord, don't afraid what I have heard, the eal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish it for me and his kingdom. Listen to what the Lord says.
