Silence Silences The Accuser!


‘Silence Silences The Accuser.’
Isaiah 36:18-21.
a)   Isaiah 36:18. The King of Assyria said to God’s People that they were not to listen to Nehemiah when he says that the Lord will rescue you.
b)   Isaiah 36:18. No god of any Nation has delivered the people from the King of Assyria.
c)   Isaiah 36:19. The king of Samaria defeated the kings of:-
1-  Hamath.
2-  Arpad.
3-  Sephervaim.
d)   Isaiah 36:20. The gods of these countries could not rescue them. How can the Lord rescue Jerusalem from the control of the Assyrian king?
e)   Isaiah 36:21. The Leaders of the people of Jerusalem were silent because their King told them to be silent.
(This QT shows me that sometimes Silence Silences The Accuser)

‘Say Shibboleth.’
Judges 12:5-6.
a)    The men of Gilead captured the shallow crossings of the Jordan River leading back to Ephraim. 
b)   Whenever a fugitive from Ephraim wanted to cross the men of Gilead would ask them if they were from Ephraim.
c)   If they said they were not then the men of Gilead asked them to say “shibboleth”.
d)   If they could not say it, but only ‘sibboleth’, then they would be killed by the men of Gilead.
e)   This is amazing … 42,000 men from Ephraim died.  
(This Second one teaches me of an important time to Say Shibboleth)
