FACING NATIONAL PERILS LESSON TEXT n Kings 19:5-7, 32-37; 20:12-17. MEMORY SELECTION For thus said the Lord God. the Holy One of Israel; in returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. Isaiah 30:15. Perilous times had come upon the southern part of the divided kingdom known as Judah. There had
been a period of outward prosperity under King Uzziah, but the inward decay of the people made it an -empty thing. Judah, like Israel, was on the downward path which was to lead to ultimate captivity and judgment The occasional reign of good kings seemed" to stem the tide a bit; in - fact, the great king of whom we study today, Hezekiah, gave Judah a "fresh lease on life and enabled her to outlive her sister kingdom by nearly a century and a half." Judah experienced a real revival
oi laitn in God under Hezekiah (II Kings 18:4-6; II Chron. 29:31). The
temple was cleansed, the priesthood
renewed and reconsecrated, and the
great feast of the Passover kept
once more. This undoubtedly, explains the new life which came to Judah in an hour when the nation seemed about to disintegrate. I. The Enemy's Threat (19:5, 6). For the background here one must read the previous chapter. Hezekiah, having tried to throw off the yoke of Assyria, had seen Sennacherib and his armies sweep over the land. Thinking to stop him and to save Jerusalem, he sent a great gift amounting in value to millions of dollars. The gift was accepted, and then Sennacherib treacherously seiged Jerusalem. Rabshakeh, Sennacherib's mes- j senger to Hezekiah, not only threatened the nation, but blasphemously denied the power of God. Such was J the awful situation Hezekiah faced as he went to the temple, and sent -trusted servants to inquire of Isaiah what he ought to do.
The response was prompt and definite. We may learn from this incident that In an hour of confusion.1 and danger it is well to take time to , od out what tha Lord has to sa

eyes of Jehovah (Ps. 139:1, 2; Heb. 4:13)" (John W. Bradbury). The statement in verse 23 Is a striking one. The prophets had repeatedly spoken of the impending destruction of the nation. Now the time had come that the Lord could no longer stand to look upon their sin, and in a sense put them "out of his sight." That does not mean that they had been forgotten or that God was not watching over them in mercy and love, but that he had to judge them for their sins, and for a time bring them into judgment leading to repentance. There is always a reason for a nation's deterioration, and with Is-
rael there were many reasons. Outstanding among them is the one for which they were rebuked by Isaiah in the verses of our lesson, namely, drunkenness. II. Deceived by Drink (Isa. 28: 1-4). The picture here is a graphic one. The leaders of Israel (here called Ephraim) lingered long over their bowls of wine, and in their drunken stupor gloried in the fact that Samaria, their capital city, was so situated at the head of a valley that it was not only beautiful but practically safe from attack by the enemy. The drunkards spoke with pride of their nation and of Samaria its
"crown. The description was apt, for it was beautifully situated on a hill surrounded by a fertile terraced hillside. But their boasting was vain, for after a bitter three years' " siege, the city eventually fell to Sargon II of Assyria. ... . All this has a familiar sound. We think of the nations that have gone down to oblivion even while the peo..ple engaged in foolish levity, and in , the awful stupefying and degrading use of alcohol. Remember the fall of France in the. recent World War when its own leaders1 said that the defeat 'could be largely attributed to the tremendous increase in the use of alcoholic liquor. What about our own United States? With an annual liquor bill of about eight billion dollars, saloons on almost every corner, liquor flowing freely in hotels and restaurants, bottles and cases of It being brought into the home, booze the common medium of not only social but business relations, our insane asylums so crowded with alcoholics that the poor inmates have no real care but why go on? It is a picture so appalling and so utterly distressing that every sensible person -is shocked by it . Do we think that God can long withhold his judgment upon a people blessed by all his many bounties, and yet using them for destruction of body and soul? Can a people . continue to be strong which is determined to undermine itself by tho use of alcohol?,
