[:en]Thoughts from Isaiah 7[:]

[:en]When Ahaz was king of Judah, Israel allied with Syria to fight against them.  But God promised protection through Isaiah.  Later on, Assyria became the new threat.  Israel was invaded by Assyria in 722 BC and the nation came to an end.  During the reign of King Hezekiah, the Assyrians invaded Judah but God defeated them.[:]
