Assyria and Bible Prophecy
 

Assyria Fall will not be by Human Hands

Isaiah 31:8-9

8 "Then Assyria shall fall by a sword not of man, And a sword not of mankind shall devour him. But he shall flee from the sword, And his young men shall become forced labor.

9 He shall cross over to his stronghold for fear, And his princes shall be afraid of the banner," Says the LORD, Whose fire is in Zion And whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

 

• Powerful prophecy of the fall of the Assyrian army by God’s direct intervention.

• The Assyrians will flee back to Nineveh in terror.

• The banner was the Hebrew battle standard which bore the name of Yahweh.
