Jerusalem and Leyden
Sunday School Chronicle
Isaiah 37:33
Therefore thus said the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there…


The siege of Jerusalem reminds us of the siege of Leyden in later days. William the Silent (as Hezekiah had done before him) put his sole trust for deliverance in God. On the last night of the siege, and when help from man seemed hopeless, God came to their aid, and with His ocean and tempest delivered Leyden, and struck such terror into their enemies, that when the morning dawned, the Spaniards had fled, panic-struck, during the darkness. Leyden was relieved, and every person within its walls repaired to the great church to return thanks to Almighty God.
