📚 Historical Context

This prophecy was given to King Hezekiah through Isaiah after Hezekiah foolishly showed all his royal treasures to Babylonian envoys. At this time, Babylon was still a rising power, but God was already revealing that they would eventually conquer Jerusalem and exile the people around 586 BC, about 100 years later.
