“And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.”
Isaiah 37:3 KJV
Isaiah recorded, “They told him, “Here is Hezekiah’s message: ‘This is a day of great anguish, rebuke, and humiliation. We are desperate, as in the day a woman is in heavy labor but has no strength left to give birth.” Hezekiah brought the situation to Isaiah’s notice of the Assyrian army surrounding Jerusalem and they were unprepared for the oncoming onslaught. At that time Isaiah gave Hezekiah God’s comfort to not fear and the king believed God and shortly thereafter the Assyrian king and his army retreated and the Assyrian king was murdered by his own sons. Isaiah went on to prophesy, “Who has ever seen or heard of such a wonder? Could a country be born in a day? Can a nation be birthed so suddenly? Yet no sooner does Zion go into labor than she gives birth to sons!” Paul also said, “The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters! For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin. But now, with eager expectation, all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children.” God birthed His children through the Cross and the nation of Israel was birthed in one day in the twentieth century. God is forever true to His Word, let’s just trust Him always. Amen!
