Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD which you have spoken is good." For he thought, "Is it not so, if there will be peace and truth in my days?"Hezekiah has just messed up, and welcomes emissaries from Babylon, and given them the grand tour. Isaiah comes and says that Babylon will have everything the emissaries have been shown. However, because of God's promise to Hezekiah, it will not happen in his time, but in that of his descendants.
Hezekiah says that this is fine by him. After all, it won't affect him any. His reign is guaranteed for another fifteen years, so who cares if the nation falls after he's dead? I know I can have this feeling, to a lesser extent. Who cares what happens to someone else? It's got nothing to do with me. Let God sort them out as per His will. However, I know this attitude is wrong, and I want to change.
