OUR FATHER RESPONDS TO PRIDE AND HAUTINESS WITH JUDGEMENT

Examining verse 12 of chapter 10 of the book of Isaiah, we read this;

When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes. 

The king of Assyria had failed to detect that Jerusalem was in the weakened condition it was because it was undergoing the punishment of judgement for failure to adhere to the Lord their God.

The prophet, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared that the Lord was at that time, executing judgement on Mount Zion and Jerusalem for their infidelities to God but when He was done, He would punish the King of Assyria for the pride and haughtiness with which he had looked upon God's people during their time of weakness.

Amen.
