In the context of <a href="/isaiah/37.htm">Isaiah 37</a>, God is addressing the Assyrian king Sennacherib, demonstrating that no action or plan is hidden from Him. This echoes <a href="/psalms/139-2.htm">Psalm 139:2</a>, where David acknowledges God's awareness of his every move. The phrase reassures believers of God's constant presence and understanding, providing comfort and accountability.<p><b>your going out and coming in</b><br>This expression signifies the totality of one's daily life and activities. In ancient Near Eastern culture, "going out and coming in" was a common idiom for the entirety of a person's life and endeavors. It underscores God's comprehensive knowledge and sovereignty over all human affairs. This concept is also found in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-6.htm">Deuteronomy 28:6</a>, where blessings are promised for obedience, indicating God's involvement in every aspect of life.<p><b>and your raging against Me</b><br>Here, God addresses the hostility and arrogance of Sennacherib against Him. The Assyrian king's blasphemous threats and military campaigns against Judah are seen as direct challenges to God's authority. This phrase highlights the futility of opposing God, as seen in the eventual downfall of Sennacherib's forces. It serves as a reminder of the spiritual battle between human pride and divine sovereignty, similar to the defiance of Pharaoh in Exodus. This also foreshadows the ultimate victory of Christ over all opposition, as prophesied in Revelation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hezekiah.htm">Hezekiah</a></b><br>The king of Judah during the time of the Assyrian threat.
