OUR FATHER KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF ALL BEINGS PART 1

Isaiah chapter 10 verse 10 says this;

As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols,  kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—

This verse, relaying the reasoning that the king of Assyria conducted as he contemplated his assault on Jerusalem, qualitatively measured the cultural and spiritual development of the kingdoms he had already conquered and compared them to the level that Jerusalem had attained.

He concluded that Samaria and Jerusalem were at a lower standard of spiritual technology that his previous conquests and this led him to make the logical jump that he made in verse 11;

Shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?’”

He became confident that he could handle Jerusalem with the same effort that he had handled Samaria.
