Notes

Isaiah 9:18–21

After the leaders were destroyed, the nation would fall into chaos. With no strong leadership, people would turn against one another.

Civil war would then destroy the nation. It would spread quickly and cause great damage, like a brushfire that no one can control.

Isaiah 7:1–12:6

These prophecies occurred when Assyria rose to power. Syria and Israel formed an alliance against Judah (Isaiah 7:1–2; see 2 Kings 16:5). God used Assyria as a tool to punish Syria, Israel, and Judah (Isaiah 7–10).
