Then I looked up and saw four animal horns. “What are these?” I asked the angel who was talking with me. He replied, “These horns represent the nations that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” Then the Lord showed me four blacksmiths. “What are these men coming to do?” I asked. The angel replied, “These four horns—these nations—scattered and humbled Judah. Now these blacksmiths have come to terrify those nations and throw them down and destroy them.” Zechariah Chapter 1 verses 18 to 21, NLT.
“Huddle together, you nations, and be terrified. Listen, all you distant lands. Prepare for battle, but you will be crushed! Yes, prepare for battle, but you will be crushed! Call your councils of war, but they will be worthless. Develop your strategies, but they will not succeed. For God is with us!” Isaiah Chapter 8 verses 9 and 10, NLT.
When Ahaz, son of Jotham and grandson of Uzziah, was king of Judah,
King Rezin of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, set out to
attack Jerusalem. However, they were unable to carry out their plan. The news
had come to the royal court of Judah: “Syria is allied with Israel against us!”
So the hearts of the king and his people trembled with fear, like trees shaking
in a storm. Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Take your son Shear-jashub and go
out to meet King Ahaz. You will find him at the end of the aqueduct that feeds
water into the upper pool, near the road leading to the field where cloth is
washed. Tell him to stop worrying. Tell him he doesn’t need to fear the
fierce anger of those two burned-out embers, King Rezin of Syria and Pekah son
of Remaliah. Yes, the kings of Syria and Israel are plotting against him,
saying, ‘We will attack Judah and capture it for ourselves. Then we will
install the son of Tabeel as Judah’s king.’ But this is what the Sovereign
Lord says: “This invasion will never happen; it will never take place; Isaiah
Chapter 7 verses 1 to 7, NLT.
In
righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for
you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed
they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against
you shall fall for your sakes. Behold, I have created the blacksmith who blows
the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have
created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and
every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the
heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me, says
the LORD. Isaiah Chapter 54 verses 14 to 17, NKJV.
There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan
that can succeed against the Lord. The counsel of the Lord shall stand. Psalm
33 verse 11 and Proverbs 19 verse 21.KJV.
For there is no sorcery against Jacob,
nor any divination against Israel. It now must be said of Jacob and of Israel,
'Oh what God has done!' Numbers Chapter 23 verse 23.KJV.
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands
cannot perform their enterprises. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness;
and the counsel of the forward is carried headlong. Job Chapter 5 verses 12 and
13 KJV.
Who art thou oh great mountain before Zerubbabel? Thou shalt become a plain and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof shouting; crying, Grace, grace unto it…..The hand of Zerubabel have laid the foundation of this house: his hands shall also finish it; and thou shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. KJV Amen. Zechariah Chapter 4 verses 6 to 9
