Isa 17:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14 : This defeat will happen very quickly. At evening-tide, behold, trouble; and before the morning, they are not (Isaiah 17:14 ). The enemy may seem strong at night, but by morning they will be gone. Just as the angel of the Lord destroyed the Assyrian army in one night, God can suddenly save His people (Psalm 26:5-6 ). This is the future for anyone who attacks God’s people—they will be defeated and ruined. God always defends His church, and those who harm it only bring trouble on themselves.

‏ Isaiah 17:14

v. 14: This defeat will happen very quickly. At evening-tide, behold, trouble; and before the morning, they are not (Isaiah 17:14 ^a). The enemy may seem strong at night, but by morning they will be gone. Just as the angel of the Lord destroyed the Assyrian army in one night, God can suddenly save His people (Psalm 26:5-6 ^b). This is the future for anyone who attacks God’s people—they will be defeated and ruined. God always defends His church, and those who harm it only bring trouble on themselves.
