In his sermon on Isaiah 10–12, Stephen Davey explains that God uses even godless nations to accomplish His purposes, yet holds every arrogant power accountable for its pride and cruelty. Isaiah warns that Assyria, though an instrument of judgment, will itself be judged by the Lord, proving that no empire escapes God’s justice. From the image of a felled forest, Isaiah introduces hope through the “stump of Jesse,” pointing to the Messiah who will come from David’s line and reign in righteousness. Davey highlights Isaiah’s vision of the future kingdom, where creation itself is transformed and the curse is reversed under Christ’s perfect rule. He concludes that despite present injustice and turmoil, believers can rejoice now, confident that God’s promises will culminate in a glorious kingdom where the Lord is our strength, song, and salvation.
