The act of swearing indicates a solemn and unchangeable promise. In biblical context, when God swears an oath, it underscores the certainty and seriousness of His declarations (<a href="/hebrews/6-13.htm">Hebrews 6:13-17</a>). This reflects God's unchanging nature and His ultimate sovereignty over all creation.<p><b>Surely, as I have planned, so will it be;</b><br>This part of the verse highlights God's divine plan and the certainty of its fulfillment. It reflects the biblical theme of God's sovereignty and His ability to bring His purposes to pass, regardless of human actions or opposition. This is consistent with other scriptures that affirm God's control over history and His ability to accomplish His will (<a href="/proverbs/19-21.htm">Proverbs 19:21</a>, <a href="/ephesians/1-11.htm">Ephesians 1:11</a>). The assurance in this statement provides comfort to believers, knowing that God's plans are perfect and will be realized.<p><b>as I have purposed, so will it stand.</b><br>Here, the emphasis is on the immutability of God's purposes. What God intends, He will establish, and nothing can thwart His will. This is a recurring theme in the Bible, where God's purposes are shown to be steadfast and unchangeable (<a href="/isaiah/46-10.htm">Isaiah 46:10</a>, <a href="/job/42-2.htm">Job 42:2</a>). The phrase reassures believers of the reliability of God's promises and His ultimate control over the unfolding of history. It also points to the fulfillment of prophecy, as God's purposes often include the foretelling and realization of future events, many of which are seen as types or foreshadowings of Christ's work and kingdom.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord_of_hosts.htm">The LORD of Hosts</a></b><br>This title emphasizes God's supreme authority and command over the heavenly armies, highlighting His power and sovereignty.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah conveyed God's messages to the people of Judah and Jerusalem, often focusing on themes of judgment and redemption.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/assyria.htm">Assyria</a></b><br>In the broader context of <a href="/bsb/isaiah/14.htm">Isaiah 14</a>, Assyria represents a powerful empire that God promises to judge and overthrow, demonstrating His control over nations.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>Recognize that God's plans are unchangeable and His purposes will always be fulfilled.

From the distant prospect of an ultimate deliverance from the power of Babylon, the prophet turns his gaze to a nearer, if not a greater, deliverance. The present enemy is Assyria. It is she who has carried Samaria into captivity, and who now threatens the independence of Judah. Deliverance from her has already been promised more than once (<a href="/isaiah/10-16.htm">Isaiah 10:16-19, 25-27, 33, 34</a>); but apparently the people are not reassured - they still dread the foe who is so near, and who seems so irresistible. God, therefore, condescends to give them a fresh prophecy, a fresh assurance, and to confirm it to them <span class="accented">by an oath</span> (ver. 24). The Assyrian power shall be broken - her yoke shall be cast off (ver. 25); God has declared his purpose, and nothing can hinder it (ver. 27). <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 24.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Hath sworn</span>. This is the emphatic word - the <span class="accented">new</span> thing in the prophecy.
