Isaiah 9-16
Isaiah 9:6-7 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.
God uses Assyria as an instrument to deal with Jerusalem. Assyria may not realize God's hand and God's design to conquer Israel, but it is God's intention and nothing Assyria can boast. And yet, God will also punish Assyria. Isaiah 7:12 When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, "I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes." There are prophecies about the other attacking neighbors, such as the fall of Lebanon and Babylon and the Philistines (Isaiah 14).
Who is the remnant of Israel, that will return?
The Fall of the Morning Star, Isaiah 14:12 could be a reference to the fall of satan from heaven as well as the fall of king of Babylon. 12 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."
15 But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit.
