Isaiah 10: Plundered Plunderers, Assyria Judged&Afflicted -- 2019/09/26 - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Rev. Andrew Yeager, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Decatur, Indiana, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Isaiah 10.

How the tables have turned! In chapter 10, Isaiah continues God’s condemnation of Israel before pronouncing condemnation on Assyria. In both cases, the plunderer becomes the plundered. The oppressor of the widow and the fatherless becomes oppressed himself. These pronouncements of condemnation also spell out Isaiah’s sons’ names: the poor and needy of Jerusalem, who were before treated like plunder and spoils for the taking, will be hastened and sped away to safety (Maher-shalal-hash-baz).Moreover, God will put an end to the Assyrian siege and “a remnant will return” (Shear-jashub). The angel of the LORD will strike the Assyrians with disease and force them to retreat from Jerusalem. God is always bringing good out of evil, both for the nations of the world and especially for His own people, as seen in our Savior’s cross.
