Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
God calls both the nation of Assyria and later the nation of Babylon his "servants." In each case, God uses them to bring judgment against his rebellious people. First, Assyria came against Israel, and then Babylon against Judah. In each case, God then destroyed the nation he raised up to discipline his wayward people.
Isaiah chapter 10 recounts the pride of the King of Assyria, who, having gotten victory over the nation of Israel, later turned his attention to the country of Judah and the city of Jerusalem. This was, however, beyond the scope of the work God had assigned to Assyria.
In verse six, we see that God is the one who sent Assyria against Israel, but in the following eight verses, we see that the Assyrian King has exalted himself in his estimation and has come to think too highly of himself. That leads us to one of my favorite verses in the Scripture, "Shall the axe boast over him who hews with it, or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it? As if a rod should wield him who lifts it, or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood."
