About this episode

This episode explores the dramatic moment when King Hezekiah seeks God's help against the Assyrian army and how Jesus defends Jerusalem.

The walls are closing in on King Hezekiah. The Assyrian army stands at Jerusalem's gates, mocking God and threatening destruction. In desperation, Hezekiah runs to the temple while his emissaries seek counsel from Isaiah the prophet. God hears. God answers. And when all hope seems lost, Jesus Himself arrives to defend Jerusalem. In this episode, we explore one of Scripture's most dramatic moments of deliverance and what it reveals about the God who fights for His people.
