Chapter Review 31-35
Chapter 31 Just nine verses, but Isaiah repeats that Judah is trusting in the Egyptians and not the Lord for deliverance.
Assyria will fall and it will be by God’s hand, not man’s.
Chapter 32 A pause between the 5th and 6th woe.
A ray of light.
A vision of the millennial rule of Christ.
As is Isaiah’s habit, he uses a vision of the millennial
kingdom to lighten up the intermediate dark days.
Both judgment and glory lie ahead and now is the time to choose.

Worth Repeating Judah’s dependance on the Lord and not on the Egyptians is so important, that it’s worth repeating.

vv1-2?
Ambassadors The Egyptian emissaries who went to Egypt
Horses Egypt was flat, really well suited for chariots.
They were the nation’s strength
Nor seek the Lord What made their sin most offensive was turn from the Lord and turn to Egypt

Egypt …against the house of evil doers and against the help of those who work iniquity (31:2b)
Egypt and everyone who works against the purpose of God
Q: Why could Egypt not be trusted?
v3?
Worth Repeating >Men not God
Men not God They were flesh, not God.
(31:3) How stupid not to treat Yahweh as its proper and instead trust the Egyptians!
Q: Who will fight for Zion (vv4,5)?
Lion Like a lion unafraid of the shepherds (31:4) who were summoned against him.
He is a determined Lion, strong shepherds called to do battle with the lion
They are the ineffectual aid which Egypt brings
Birds The birds will shield His people, passover, rescue (31:5).
The Lord is like a hovering mother bird over her nest willing to do whatever is necessary.
God’s sparrow - weakness is stronger than men (cf )
Worth Repeating >Men not God>Repent
Isa 31:6
Repent Return to Him (31:6) Faith is not just to surmount this problem today but to stand before God
Q: What would happen to Assyria and what would the people learn (vv7-9)?
Too Late For in that day (31:7) You’ll reject all your idols.
Be decisive today.
It will be too late in the tribulation.

The Day of the Lord ().
We are not destined for wrath
