An Oracle of Two Cities (Isa 14:28-32)

Are you looking for a way out? Out of your stress? Out of your boredom? Out of your frustration? Jesus offers us a true way out of all of life’s trials, while sin offers us a false one laden with promises it could never keep. In today’s passage, we see what happens to a nation who gets out from under Judah’s control and, when they come around with an offer to get Judah out from under the threat of the Assyrians, we see the contrast between the right way out and the wrong one.
