[:en]Behind all the evil system of Babylon was Lucifer whose description is as follows: (vs. 12-15_
He is the morning star and son of the dawn. He had fallen from heaven and cast down to the earth. He wanted to be like the Most High by ascending to heaven, by raising his throne above the star and by sitting enthroned on the mount of assembly. But he was brought down to the grave, to the depth of the pit.
The world today worships and serves the creature rather than the creator. They fall into the hands of the evil one. Man is his own god and serves himself. Since we are made in the image of God, we are to conform to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.
A PROPHECY AGAINST ASSYRIA (vs. 24-27)
The Assyrians will be crushed and trampled down. “For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”
A PROPHECY AGAINST THE PHILISTINES (vs. 28-32)
The Philistines will be destroyed by famine but the Lord has established Zion and His people will find refuge.[:]
