2 Kings 19:17 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
Lord Jesus we pray for all those people who have suffered under these tyrants that have destroyed the nations and their land. We lift up those in Iran, what a shame that such a great land would be in such poverty because of these tyrants. They rob the people so they can build weapons of mass destruction. You are Lord, are they submissive to You? Is this according to Your will? They have built with wood, hay and stubble so we pray that their work would be exposed by fire for what it is and turned to ash. We pray that the Lion of the Tribe of Judah would arise and scatter His enemies.
18 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
Lord we pray burn up their idols, expose the fact that they are no gods and that You alone reign from on high. Lord we pray that the idols of the nations would be destroyed.
19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord God, even thou only.
And Lord we pray you would save us. Deliver all your people out of the hands of these evil ones. We pray that all the kingdoms of earth would see your salvation and know that thou alone art God.
20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard. 21 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
Amen Lord! May all the scorn and reproach they have heaped up on the heads of your people return to them and may the entire world, all the saints, laugh them to scorn. Expose their corruption, expose their ineptness, expose their arrogance and pride. Show them to be liars and hypocrites. Fill the believers in Iran with joy and rejoicing and laughter. Amen.
22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Amen Lord, they have mocked your people, Lord they have mocked You. They have exalted themselves against You. Against the Holy one of Israel. So Lord I pray that as they have done it would be done unto them. They think they can go against the Holy one of Israel, let them see exactly how mighty You are. As much as they have exalted themselves let that be how much you bring them low and humble them under the mighty hand of God.
23 By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel. 24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places. 25 Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
Lord Jesus, they are pawns accomplishing your will. So Lord we pray according to Your will that the Father would be hallowed on this earth. That His name would be lifted up and that the whole earth would see there is salvation in Your name.
26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
Lord Jesus we pray drain their power. May their hands be weak, may their knees be feeble, may they be dismayed at every turn. May they see as their leaders die and defect. May they be confounded in all they hope to do. May you hit the enemy with the intensity of the burning sun and may you hit them early before they have a chance to rise up. May they wilt under the intensity of Your gaze, under the heat of Your attack.
27 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
Lord Jesus you are omniscient. May they be stunned by your omniscience. You know where they live, hit them at home. You know their going out, hit them as they come out of their holes. You know their coming in, hit them so that the holes collapse upon them. You know their rage against You, the Holy One of heaven so as they have measured to others may it be measured to them. They dig pits and lay snares for others, may they themselves fall into the pits and get snared themselves.
28 Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Amen Lord, may all this work out to cause them to repent and to return. To be humbled and to see that You alone are God. Amen.
