The lives of the biblical kings are really interesting case studies. As with all men, the kings of Israel and Judah who loved God often made mistakes. Today, through the writings of the prophet Isaiah, we get a close look at one of King Hezekiah’s mistakes. Through the prophet Isaiah, God directed Hezekiah to set his house in order; he would soon die. But Hezekiah’s reaction was desperately sorrowful. He prayed to God for mercy, and God miraculously healed him and extended his life. This would be interesting enough; except we soon learn that it was also meant for a test. When news of Hezekiah’s healing reached the king of Babylon, he sent
men to give Hezekiah a gift. While the Babylonian ambassadors were there, Hezekiah showed them everything in his royal treasuries; this represented everything Judah was capable of, its power. Isaiah then rebuked Hezekiah for his carelessness. It was a failure before the LORD to expose Judah’s financial and military strength to a pagan nation.

God called them this because they had broken the te...

Jesus Christ; Isaiah 53-56
The twelve verses of Isaiah 53 are quoted multiple times in the New Testament and applied directly to Jesus Christ and the result of His life and ministry.
