Hezekiah becomes deathly ill, and Isaiah tells him to set his house in order. Hezekiah prays, and God extends his life by fifteen years, confirming the promise with a miraculous sign: the shadow on the stairway moves backward. Later, envoys from Babylon visit, and Hezekiah proudly displays all his treasures. Isaiah rebukes him, prophesying that future generations will be carried to Babylon. Despite the warning, Hezekiah responds with short-sighted relief.
Christ-Foreshadowing: Hezekiah’s healing points to Christ, who brings ultimate healing and restoration; yet Hezekiah’s pride reveals the need for a perfect King free from vanity and compromise.
