  1. Every region and landscape<\/em>. Verse 9 lays out for us in one panoramic image a range of regions and landscapes. All of them are desolate and withered, as befits a vision of destruction. \u201cThe land is wilted and withered; Lebanon disgraced and moldering, Sharon is become like a desert, And Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Change now<\/em>. The proclaimed change is emphasized no less than three times in verse 10: \u201cNow I will arise,\u201d says the LORD, \u201cNow I will exalt Myself, now raise Myself high.\u201d The only question is: when is now?<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Which king<\/em>? Verse 17 speaks of a king and his beauty that is perceived from afar. Who is this king? The king of Assyria, whose regal grandeur threatens the inhabitants of Jerusalem? Hezekiah? The promised righteous king who has not yet arisen in Jerusalem? The king, king of kings? Whichever one will choose will influence your interpretation of the prophecy? (See also Marc Bregmans\u2019s post for this chapter).<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. If security were\u2026<\/em> If security were a tent, it would be a tent who ropes would never come undone (verse 20). If security were a river, it would be so wide, that no ship could cross it (21). That\u2019s the sort of security that God is promising Jerusalem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
