2 Kings 18, 19

Sennacherib, the ungodly king of Assyria, marched upon Jerusalem. He sent his ambassadors to make threats to the representatives of King Hezekiah in the fortified city. Hezekiah laid out the threats before the Lord and called upon Him to deliver him.

The way God saw it, Sennacherib was not just threatening Judah … he was making taunts against the Lord God of Heaven! God considered the threats insolence … rude and disrespectful behavior. In reply, God sent His angel who destroyed 185,000 warriors of Sennacherib’s army IN ONE NIGHT!

When we run to God when our enemies threaten us, they are messing with Him and not just us. He will defend. He will avenge us.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
    which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so the Lord surrounds his people
    both now and forevermore.

Ps. 125:1, 2
