The STORY.

IN the eyes OF the wicked King
4 Ahaz, the prophet Isaiah was but
hinderer and meddler in the
affairs OF Judah. When he preferred
to be let alone to manage the affairs
OF the nation the prophet would come
with some message which he claimed
had been given to him by his God. And
generally these messages OF the
prophet we're directed against his evil
ways. and charged him with leading
the nation into idolatry which would
end finally in severe punishment up
on the nation.
"A tronble-maker, anu nearer Of
evil messages" was the way in which
Ahaz had come TO speak Of the proph-
ct. What did that somber-robed.
misunderstanding individual know
about ruling a nation? What business
had he coming around telling him
what he should and should not DO? He
knew how he would serve Cod and he
knew how he would seek favor with
the nations about by fellowshiping
with them in their idolatry. A nation
could not be law unto itself. and II
the interests OF Judah were 10 be Sc.
cured she must make allies OF some
Of the strong nations
Il seemed utter folly for the proph-
ct 70 talk about the favor OF God
being Of more value than the favor Of
kings. and more than once he had re-
torted that victory seemed TO be on
the side Of the strongest army. and
pointed with triumph at the Increas-
ing power and strength Of Assyrla.
y would that the nation had such
an ally" he exclaimed to himself more
than once We would then have
nothing to fear from the other ma
tions"
But he knew that Isaiah would op-
pose any such alliance and he feared
the influence OF the prophet upon the
nation, for the people believed in him
and would have resented any open VIC.
