Don't Even Worry About It

And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD. And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left. So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.-Isaiah 37:1-7***King Rehoboam was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah and the 1st king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Hezekiah was the 12th king to rule Judah. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that, among Judah's kings, Hezekiah had an unparalleled trust in the Lord God. Rehoboam was an idolater and allowed idolatry and other wickedness throughout Judah. In the 5th year of Rehoboam's 17-year reign, the Lord God allowed King Shishak, ruler of Egypt, and those with Shishak, to invade Judah and capture fortified cities. Before Shishak and his allies invaded Jerusalem, the royal city, Shemaiah, a prophet of the Lord God, arrived in Jerusalem and proclaimed the words of the Lord God to Rehoboam and the princes. After Rehoboam and the princes humbled themselves, Shemaiah received another message from the Lord God. Shishak and his allies looted the palace and the temple of the Lord that was built by Rehoboam's father King Solomon, the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. However, according to the will of the Lord God, Rehoboam was not destroyed and Judah was a pleasant place. Saul, the 1st king to reign over the Israelites in the Promised Land, was from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. Solomon's father David was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer while reigning, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During Pekah's reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites to Assyria. King Hoshea was the 19th king to rule the northern nation. During the 9th year of Hoshea's reign, corresponding to the 6th year of Hezekiah's rule over Judah, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. During the 14th year of Hezekiah's 29-year reign, King Sennacherib, ruler of Assyria, conquered fortified cities in Judah. Hezekiah sent a message to Sennacherib and paid the wealth Sennacherib required. Afterwards, Sennacherib sent Rabshakeh, Tartan and Rabsaris to Jerusalem with an army and a message. In response, the Israelites remained silent, according to Hezekiah's command. Eliakim, Shebna and Joah went to Hezekiah, and Hezekiah went to the temple of the Lord. Hezekiah sent Eliakim, Shebna and some elderly priests to Isaiah the prophet with a message. Isaiah gave Eliakim, Shebna and the priests a message from the Lord God for Hezekiah. Meanwhile, Rabshekah went to Sennacherib while Sennacherib was in a battle against Libnah. When Sennacherib heard that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was heading towards him for a battle, Sennacherib sent an envoy to Hezekiah with a message and a letter. After Hezekiah was given the letter, he read the letter, went to the temple, spread the letter before the Lord God, prayed to the Lord God and cried out to heaven. Meanwhile, Isaiah prayed to the Lord God and cried out to heaven. Shortly thereafter, Isaiah sent Hezekiah a message from the Lord God. The same night that Hezekiah received the message, the angel of the Lord God struck dead 185,000 of the military force encamped among the Assyrians. Sennacherib went to Nineveh in Assyria and was killed by 2 of his sons. Hezekiah's  great-great-grandson Jehoiakim (Eliakim) was the 17th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiakim's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiakim's reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. Jehoiakim's brother Zedekiah (Mattaniah) was the 19th king to rule Judah. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians  conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:33, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Isaiah 1:1-31, 36:1-39:8, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
