OUR FATHER SAVES HIS PEOPLE 

The book of Isaiah chapter 10 verses 30 - 32 says this;

Cry out, Daughter Gallim! Listen, Laishah! Poor Anathoth!

Madmenah is in flight; the people of Gebim take cover.

This day they will halt at Nob; they will shake their fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.

The desparate scramble by Assyria to reach Jerusalem to try and forestall their inevitable defeat, occurs in this passage.

The towns along the route to Jerusalem are in fear as the Assyrians march past them.

Some, like Gallim, cry out in fear while Laisha lays low and listens. Others just brace for the coming assault and suffer as Anathoth does.

Others, like Madmenah,  in the face of the approaching Assyrians, pack and run away while Gebim takes cover and hides from the army.

When the Assyrian army reaches the town of Nob (which is about 3 miles from Jerusalem), they stop and they lament and shake their fists at the mount of Daughter Zion ( the mount of olives) at the hill of Jerusalem which is between Nob and the city of Jerusalem.

The push to reach Jerusalem by the frantic Assyrians fails and they angrily shake their fists at what impedes their attack.

This symbolizes the attempt of the kingdom of darkness to short-circuit prophecy by invading Jerusalem but the daughty of Zion, the nation of Israel, prevents this from happening.
