TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Fearing People

God had promised to be with his people in the face of opposition (see, e.g., Deut 20:1-4; Josh 1:9); as long as they remained committed to him, they had no reason to fear others. Israel’s history demonstrated this reality (see Exod 14:10-31; Josh 10:9-14). But for those who look elsewhere for peace and security, God can be a stumbling stone rather than a source of safety (Isa 8:14).

During the reign of King Ahaz of Judah, when the king heard that Syria and Israel had allied against him, he trembled in fear (Isa 7:2). The Lord encouraged him to be a man of faith, because without faith he could not expect the Lord’s protection (7:9). However, Ahaz refused to trust the Lord. Rather, he turned to the Assyrians for help. As a result, the Lord became a trap for him, as well as for all Israel and Judah (8:11-15).

One of the purposes of Isaiah’s message was to highlight the contrast between faith and fear. We see Ahaz as an example of fear. We then see Hezekiah as an imperfect example of faith (see ch 37). Isaiah himself provides a better example of faith (ch 8). Finally, God’s servant stands as the ideal example of faith (42:1-7; 50:4-7).

Jesus instructed his followers not to fear those who threaten them—even those who wish to kill them (Matt 10:26-31). The same God who is aware of the happenings of each individual sparrow and who knows the number of hairs on a person’s head will be with those who trust in him. Such trust has been demonstrated by believers throughout history who have rejected the fear of what others can do to them—even to the point of martyrdom (see Acts 6:8–7:60).

Those who do not commit themselves wholly to God will live in fear of others. But those who rely on the Lord will be able to overcome such fear, recognizing the temporality of human foes and the enduring sovereignty of God.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said hear now house_of Dāvid the,not_enough for,you_all try_the_patience men that/for/because/then/when try_the_patience also/yet DOM God,my )

The word “house” is a metonym for the family living in the house. See how you translated this in Isaiah 7:2. Alternate translation: “King Ahaz, you and your counselors”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Is it not enough for you people to test the patience of people? Must you also test the patience of my God?

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said hear now house_of Dāvid the,not_enough for,you_all try_the_patience men that/for/because/then/when try_the_patience also/yet DOM God,my )

These questions emphasize that the king has sinned greatly. Alternate translation: “You test the patience of people! Now you even test the patience of my God!”
