Intro:
TS: 9:8-10:4 is a poem which warns of great calamities sent by the Lord which had gone unheeded by Israel.
God had called them to repentance, He had disciplined them, He sent prophets, yet they persisted in their sin.
Notice the refrain which is repeated 4 times.
It is first found at the end of v 12
Regarding His Friends 9:8-10:11, 20-25)
The Lord Will Punish Israel Is 9:8-10:11
a.
At the hands of the Arameans and Philistines
They were GOD’s instrument of wrath
although they were destroyed, the people wouldn’t repent.
v. 9: Israel’s pride led to her downfall
she felt self-sufficiency and arrogance had led them to feel they didn’t need GOD
Sadly, when judgment came, they non-nonchalantly rebuilt
traded bricks for dressed stones.
What arrogance!
They used God’s judgment as an excuse to upgrade!
v. 12 His hand is still stretched out
God’s judgment wasn’t finished
His outstretched hand was still sending punishment
Their sins weren’t forgotten
is 9:16
Both leaders and followers were corrupt
God allowed them to lead into further calamity and judgment extended to all classes of society
society was self-destructive
Notice v 19
is 9:19
All attacked each other
No mercy for anyone
Everyone was selfish
b.
At the hands of the Assyrians Is 10:1-11
Assyria will destroy Israel but still they won’t realize it is the hand of the Lord doing it.
AP: Judgment often is overlooked
What a tragedy it is that we ignore God’s warning
God convicts, He disciplines, He calls us to repent
Yet sinful humanity shrugs it off
The Lord will Protect and Purify Israel
Someday, God’s remnant will return to Him and be forever restored.
God calls home the remnant
They will return to Him and experience the blessings once again.
God forgives and judgment passes
Regarding His Foes (10:12-19, 26-34)
He will destroy the Assyrians because of their pride
The Results of This Destruction
Is 10:16-19, 26-34
Judgment falls on God’s enemies
Though He used them as instruments of wrath, He didn’t ignore their sins.
A. An angel will send a plague which will destroy them in 1 night
B. Only a handful will survive
a child will be able to count them
C. God will cut them down
History records that they reached the walls of Jerusalem, But GOD Cut them off
God remains on His throne today!
