And that night the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when people arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. (2 Kings 19:35)
Often the situation seems hopeless. The forces of evil have a plan. It cannot fail. Much time and planning has happened as if looking ahead a hundred chess moves to cover every possible effect.
Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, thought he had everything planned. He also had the mightiest army in the then world. There was no possibility of failure. The country of Israel was taken except for Jerusalem. No country could resist him. All things pointed to a true victory here as well.
Hezekiah, knowing this, did what seems to be a stupid move--he prays.
The impossible happened. An angel was sent from heaven by God and killed 185,000 soldiers.
Today evil seems to have conquered the world. Their plans seem to be inevitable. They cannot lose. They have money, power, and dedication. All hope seems lost. Yet THERE IS STILL A GOD IN HEAVEN, and if He wills, they will be scattered as Babel was scattered. God knows how to scattered the wicked. Let us not stop praying for God to send justice, for justice is nearly gone.
