6 Lessons from the Oracles Against the Nations, Part 2 January 17, 2016 Isaiah 13-23 Pastor Tony Felich      ----more----                                   Isaiah 14:24 The LORD of hosts has sworn: “As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand, [25] that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and on my mountains trample him underfoot; and his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden from their shoulder.” [26] This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. [27] For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back? Babylon 13:1-14:23                             Egypt 19:1-25 Assyria 14:24-27                                 Cush and Egypt 20:1-6 Philistia 14:28-32                                 Babylon 21:1-10 Moab 15:1-16:14                                 Edom 21:11-12 Damascus 17:1-14                              Arabia 21:13-17 Cush 18:1-7                                         Jerusalem 22:1-25                                                             Tyre 23:1-18   While these oracles are specific to particular nations in a certain time period, they contain valuable lessons about God’s character and what he desires of His people.    God is absolutely sovereign over the nations   Don’t align with God’s enemies, ever.   Worldly wisdom is futile.
