Historically, the Assyrians were known for their military prowess and had already conquered many surrounding nations, including the northern kingdom of Israel. The city referred to here is Jerusalem, the capital of Judah, which was under siege. This deliverance is a direct intervention by God, emphasizing His sovereignty and power over even the mightiest of earthly kings. The phrase also echoes God's covenantal faithfulness to His people, reminiscent of His deliverance of Israel from Egypt. This act of deliverance can be seen as a type of Christ, who delivers believers from the bondage of sin.<p><b>I will defend this city.</b><br>The defense of Jerusalem is not just a military action but a divine assurance of protection. This promise highlights God's role as a protector and defender of His chosen people. In the broader biblical narrative, Jerusalem holds significant theological importance as the city of David and the location of the temple, symbolizing God's presence among His people. The defense of the city is also a fulfillment of God's promises to David that his lineage would endure. This assurance can be connected to other scriptures where God is depicted as a fortress and shield for His people, such as in Psalms. The defense of Jerusalem foreshadows the ultimate defense and salvation found in Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the cornerstone of the spiritual temple, the Church.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hezekiah.htm">Hezekiah</a></b><br>The king of Judah who was ill and prayed to God for healing.
