Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Isaiah 36

Interesting enough, as the Assyrians are about to destroy Jerusalem, Rabshakeh says -

"...Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us..." (Isaiah 36:14–15)

Adding -

"Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The Lord will deliver us...."  (Isaiah 36:18)

And also mocking -

"...I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them."  (Isaiah 36:8)

Where Ahaz would choose confederate to other nations in lieu and trusting the Lord, we would learn the faith of Hezekiah.
