For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him

Isaiah 14:21-32
The Lord Almighty has sworn, "Surely, as I have purposed, so it will happen,  I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removes from their shoudlers."
For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart(阻撓) him?   His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
Wail, you gate! Howl, you city! Melt away, all you Philistines! A cloud of smoke comes from the .north, and there is not a straggler in its ranks. What answer shall be given to the envoys of that nations?
"The Lord has established Zion, and in her his afflicted(折磨) people will find refuge."
Assyria's fate is also sealed. Ultimately Babylon will break the power of Assyria. But before that there will be a signal defeat in God's own land,
The date is probably, Assyria is in trouble, and the Philistines try to persuade Judah to join them in rebellion. But the Assyrians are far from finished. Worse is to come - and the Philistines are doomed. God's poor and suffering people, however, find sagety in him.
Why?
The Lord Almighty has pruposed, who can thwart, His hand is streched out, and who can turn it back? No one can against the Lord.
Babyloian, Assyrian and Philistines both will be destroyed in God's plan. And both are happened as God said in history.
The Lord is righreousness and has compassion, only those who obey Him and turn to Him will be saved.
Whom I afraid ? what I need worrty? the income or the needy? God is my salvation and my way, God will lead me and provide what I need for God loves me.
How?
Praise the Lord Almighty, honor his great Holy name. May his word will done on earth as in heaven.
