Isaiah 8

what I remember:
Isaiah is supposed to take a large scroll and write on it. I don't really remember what.

Then he has a son, and God tells him that before the son can talk, Assyria will come to ruin. He (the king of Assyria) will overflow his banks like a river (does that mean he'll invade Judah? I don't know). Then God declares them ruined, shattered, tells them that they can gird themselves and seek counsel, but it'll do them no good.

God then advises not to get caught up in conspiracy theories or in strange fears and such, but o fear God, and He will protect them. They shouldn't seek out advice from fortune-tellers, because they too will come to ruin.

about God:
He will be as a sanctuary. (v. 14)
let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread (v. 13)
