Isaiah 36 – WHAT WILL THE ENEMY DO?
1 Peter 5:8 – Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Satan, your enemy, will do everything he can to defeat you!
When Hezekiah was king of Judah the King of Assyria sent Rabshakeh, his servant, with a great army to fight against Jerusalem. The tactics and words of Rabshakeh show us what our enemy Satan will do to us.
HE WILL ENCROACH ON YOUR TERRITORY – Vss. 1-2
HE WILL MOCK YOUR ALLIES – Vss. 3-6
HE WILL BELITTLE YOUR STRENGTH – Vss. 7-9
HE WILL LIE TO YOU – Vs. 10
He is the “father of lies”. John 8:44
HE WILL INTIMIDATE YOU – Vss. 11-17
HE WILL DEMEAN YOUR FAITH – Vss. 18-20
HE WILL DEPRESS YOU – Vss. 21-22
The good news is that in God we have victory! Isaiah 40:28, 41:10, 1 Corinthians 10:13
