The Highway to Heaven (Isa. 33-35)

The six woes against the Egyptian alliance in chapters 28-35 set forth God's purposes for all of redemptive history. While the first five woes are directed against those who put their hope in Egypt, the final woe is directed against Assyria itself.

The Assyrian army is advancing on Jerusalem for the last time. Hezekiah has made an alliance with Egypt, and judgment draws near.

But you can hear in chapter 35 language that foreshadows the coming of Jesus. "The eyes of the blind shall be opened...the lame shall leap like a deer."
