The fact that God had used Assyria as the rod of His anger against the north (Isaiah 10:5) did not mean that Assyria was invincible or that their king could win in a battle against Jehovah. But the power of pride in its brash, evil mind-set is revealed in this chapter. The spokesman for Assyria (the Rabshakeh) speaks in such a way as to show us this wicked spirit. Let us choose to be known as humble people rather than its opposite as seen in Assyria.
