There is a biblical passage that tells a fascinating story about an angel who exterminated 185,000 Assyrian soldiers more than seven centuries before Christ. This event is mentioned in the story of King Hezekiah, who ruled Israel for 29 years and is considered one of the most outstanding monarchs of the kingdom of Judah.
Hezekiah was a righteous and godly leader whose life was miraculously extended after a serious illness. When he assumed the throne that previously belonged to his father, Ahaz, Hezekiah undertook a great reform within the kingdom of Judah.
For a long time, the nation of Israel had been corrupted by pagan practices and idol worship, which was deeply displeasing to God. Hezekiah vigorously fought against this idolatry, promoting a purification of the Temple in Jerusalem and restoring the true worship of the Lord.
In addition, Hezekiah was responsible for a major engineering work, which guaranteed the water supply in the city of Jerusalem. This feat resulted in the creation of the pool of Siloam, a site that would become famous in Christian history as the setting for the healing of a man born blind by Jesus Christ.
At one point in Hezekiah's history, the Assyrian nation invaded the kingdom of Judah with overwhelming military force. It was then that an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and, in a single day, exterminated 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, putting an end to the invasion.
This is an impressive story that illustrates God's faithfulness to his faithful servants and how he can miraculously intervene in times of crisis and difficulty.
