READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY

Today's Reading is Isaiah 14, Psalm 41

Isaiah 14
This is a continuation of the prophecy against Babylon. Israel will come back to Palestine. (v. 1-4) This could mean the return of the exiles during Ezra and Nehemiah or it could mean 1948, or it could mean the Millenial kingdom.

In verse 12-15, this is the fall of Babylon and the otiginator of the evil in Babylon, Satan. In verse 16-20 seem to talk about the king of Babylon.



God is taunting Babylon in verses 22-23.

In verse 24-27 Isaiah prophesied against Assyria. What God has planned cannot be stopped by mere man. God will crush the Assyrians in their land. This should be verses of comfort to us what God has purposed who can stop him?

In verse 28-32 Isaiah prophesied againt an old enemy of the twelve tribes, the Philistines. We have seen them fight against Samson, Saul and David. The historical event that happened here is the Philistines revolted against Assyria while its king was too busy handling revolts in other parts of the empire to pay attention to the revolt in Canaan. The Assyrians would attack Philstines at a later date when it quelled the revolts.

Bible Commentaries for Today's Reading Verse by Verse: Psalm 41
In this psalm, David was apparently ill from sin that he had commited (v. 3). His enemies were waiting for him to die, and they were gloating (v. 5-8). He conclude the psalm by saying that God should be merciful to him, and revive him so that he could triumph over his enemies.
