Isaiah 14:1-2, 5-8, 12-15 The Lord is strong. He has control of the whole world. He had it then and he has it now. He taught a lesson to the Israelites by being taken captive to Babylon because of their worship of gods. But the Lord saw how much they suffered so He brought them back to their land to rule over their enemies. The enemy of our soul thought his plan of captivity was supreme but the Lord shut his plan down and him.
