Isaiah 39:5-6

5, 6. Hear the word of the Lord The prophet’s soul was surcharged now with a coming of explicit, definite affliction upon his own people. The king’s imprudence was, for the first time, the occasion of such an utterance. Babylon now rises to his view as the next great engulfing power against the nation.

Behold, the days come Days of captivity. In one hundred and twenty years they did come.

All that is in thine house Which Hezekiah had himself gathered since he was plundered by Sennacherib.

And that which thy fathers have laid up in store Possibly of this Sennacherib got nothing. Was it not in keeping with the prudence of this people to preserve in most secret store, large wealth never to be touched but in extreme emergencies?

Shall be carried to Babylon But preserved, as a fact of history, (Ezra 1:7,) to be used again in the restored temple at restored Jerusalem. The divine principle, a remnant shall be saved, extended to all that pertained to the symbols of the spiritual life of that people.

Nothing shall be left The old national life was to expire utterly, to be resurrected in the spiritual remnant.
