King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Isaiah 22; Psalms 44

Isaiah 22
Prophecy against Jerusalem. Isaish's vision was when the Assyrian attack by Sennacherib on Jeruslaem (Isaiah 36-37). There was unbelief among the people (1-14). The city depended on its troops and walls but not on God. They did not consider prayer or fasting.

There was unfaithfulness of the leaders (22.15-25). A crisis can bring out the best or the worst in people. We have two individuals Shebna show used his office for personal gain (v. 15-16) and the crisis led him to personal shame. Shebna had cvered up and cheated the people until someone did an inventory of the city resources and found that he had cheated the people. He spent the rest of his life in exile and captivity. On the other hand, Eliakim showed servanthood, he was a father to the people, a person who could be trusted and blameless. He is the kind of leader we need in our churches and comminity today.
