Isaiah 37:26
"'Haven't you gotten the news
that I've been behind this all along?
This is a longstanding plan of mine
and I'm just now making it happen,
using you to devastate strong cities,
turning them into piles of rubble
God to Assyria. All that they thought they were doing and had accomplished was of God for his purposes. In light of that fact how foolish the Assyrian messenger looks as he tries to intimidate Hezekiah.
This is the first deity of a city-state that claims sovereignty, not only over his own people (Judah) but also over those who were attacking Judah! This must have seemed like utter foolishness to the Assyrians. The God of Judah thinks he has power over what we do even when it doesn't involved Judah? Laughable.
True.
