Return, you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted against

Isaiah 31:1-9

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the Lord.

This is what the Lord says to me: “As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey— and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against it, it is not frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor— so the Lord Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights. Like birds hovering overhead, the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it.”

Return, you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted against. For in that day every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold your sinful hands have made.

“Assyria will fall by no human sword; a sword, not of mortals, will devour them. They will flee before the sword and their young men will be put to forced labor. Their stronghold will fall because of terror; at the sight of the battle standard their commanders will panic,” declares the Lord,

Why?

Yje Lord declared that relying on Egypt or human beings will be put to shame and fall down. Only the Lord Almighty is our stronghold and salvation. When our Lord dome down to do battle who can stand up.

Our Lord is full of righteousness and love forever. An enemy like Assyria will fall by no human sword, not of mortal, and will devour them. It is the hands of the Lord Almighty.

How?

Rely on our God, trust in Him. Return to our God Almighty!
