“Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?”
Isaiah 38:22 KJV
Isaiah records that Hezekiah said, “What will be the sign from God that I will be healed and go up again to worship in Yahweh’s house?” Hezekiah was not afraid of asking for a sign, not wanting to make the same mistake of his father Ahaz. Ahaz was one of the worst of Judah’s kings, yet he had the living God standing ready to help him if he would turn back to the Lord. God was willing to prove Himself to Ahaz and to us. Unfortunately Ahaz instead of believing in the sign that God was giving, sought help from Assyria instead. So when Hezekiah asked God for a sign of his recovery from his sickness and God said the that the sun’s shadow retreated ten steps on the sundial, and so it happened. Today in the new covenant our sign is the finished work of Christ on the Cross, God will prove Himself to us when we come to Him through the Blood of the everlasting covenant. Amen!
