Historically, this reflects the Assyrian threat during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah. The Assyrians were known for their military prowess and ability to conquer and settle in foreign lands. This movement can also symbolize God's judgment being executed through foreign nations.<p><b>in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks</b><br>The steep ravines and clefts of the rocks refer to the rugged and inaccessible areas of the land. These locations were often used as natural fortresses or places of refuge. In biblical times, such terrain was difficult to navigate, making it a strategic location for defense. This imagery may also suggest that the invaders will penetrate even the most secure and hidden places, leaving no area untouched by their presence.<p><b>in all the thornbushes</b><br>Thornbushes are often symbolic of desolation and curse in the Bible. They can represent the consequences of sin and rebellion against God. In this context, the presence of invaders in the thornbushes may signify the complete desolation and judgment upon the land, as even the most barren and undesirable places are occupied.<p><b>and watering holes</b><br>Watering holes were essential for survival in the arid regions of the ancient Near East. They were places where people and animals gathered for refreshment and sustenance. The mention of watering holes being occupied by invaders suggests a total takeover of the land's resources, leaving the inhabitants without access to vital necessities. This can also symbolize the spiritual drought and lack of divine blessing due to the people's disobedience.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book.
