Isaiah 37:26-27

Isaiah 37:26-27

[26] Hast thou not heard  long ago,  how I have done  it; and of ancient  times,  that I have formed  it? now have I brought  it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste  defenced  cities  into ruinous  heaps.  [27] Therefore their inhabitants  were of small  power,  they were dismayed  and confounded:  they were as the grass  of the field,  and as the green  herb,  as the grass  on the housetops,  and as corn blasted  before  it be grown up. 

What does Isaiah 37:26-27 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Assyria had not heard the truth. She lacked the divine revelation that helps people see the realities of life. It was the Lord, not the Assyrians, who was responsible for all of Assyria"s conquests. He not only planned them long ago, but He also brought them to pass. That explains why she was able to subdue her enemies and take over their territories. God is sovereign.
