COMMENTARY - ISAIAH 7:17-25
Isaiah 7:17-25. FATAL CONSEQUENCES OF AHAZ' ASSYRIAN POLICY.
Though temporary deliverance (Isaiah 7:16; 8:4) was to be given then, and final deliverance through Messiah, sore punishment shall follow the former. After subduing Syria and Israel, the Assyrians shall encounter Egypt (2Ki 23:29), and Judah shall be the battlefield of both (Isaiah 7:18), and be made tributary to that very Assyria (2Ch 28:20; 2Ki 16:7, 8) now about to be called in as an ally (Isaiah 39:1-6). Egypt, too, should prove a fatal ally (Isaiah 36:6; 31:1). JFB
