Isaiah Chapter 39 (Bible Study)

Hezekiah’s Folly and Babylon’s Rise.
Isaiah 39 recounts King Hezekiah's blunder of showing Babylonian envoys his treasures after recovering from illness, leading to a prophecy from Isaiah that Babylon would one day take all his wealth and even his descendants. Hezekiah's pride and lack of vigilance reveal human frailty following spiritual triumph, as he shows concern only for his own lifetime rather than the fate of future generations. The chapter emphasizes the significance of Babylon rising as a powerful empire and highlights the consequences of Hezekiah's foolish actions.
