[next : Is.4:1 ‘seven woman & one male’, sic !] 
    [next : Zech.9 , context appears to be Cush] 

 
                                                                                          theme 
 
          … ofcourse the ’49 days’ theme becomes more and more complicated now
          because other confirmations (-as the three we have) got even móre buried ,
          like this Hezekiah story , much resembling the “sick boy” one in John 4   —
          it is very possible that real events here – the upcoming siege by Assyria – 
          were mixed by Esau with “the foreshadowing aspect of that” as prophecy ,
          so that not Hezekiah was ill (-in 38) but “the core of the 144” ;
          the problem with these chapters is that we are forced to also understand
          the upcoming siege and the reasons for that IF we want to see what the
          section about ‘Hezekiah being sick’ is about …. 
 
          act #1 : the Assyrian army about to sack Jerusalem
          … as the start per chapter 36 : 
          the story indeed appears to describe the coming attack – just checking – 
          which should have occurred around 700 BC , but God will forbid the siege 
          and send the army back to Assyria ;
          context suggests that ‘this attack foreshadowed the end of the world’ 
          and hence it was postponed by God at that point in time , and the prophecy
          aspect shows in several phrases by which God addresses the Assyrian king
          like “I will put a hook in your jaw and pull you back to your land” , where the
          ‘hook in the jaw’ is used for the Mystery-Babylon region , elsewhere ;
          also the link with ‘Adam’ is here ,
          in prophets called ‘the Assyrian’ — and where at the end of this story (in 37)
          the “king is killed by his two sons” it may symbolically represent Adam who
          will be dethroned by the two houses Ishral and Judah ;
 
          all of this suggests “a foreshadowing very close to the day of IEUE” while
          several times certain terms we need appear in the text ; another clue is
          that starting at chapter 37 Esau completely hussled the buildup suggesting
          that he had to conceal (for him-) dangerous themes ; while we only have
          this text since mirrors are useless because exact copies [-compare this 37
          as 2Kings 19 , word for word the same] 
 
          act #2 : Hezekiah is terrified (‘ill’ !) of that news and searches God
          … as the start of chapter 37 —
          we very much need to remember ‘what is happening with him’ here to make 
          sure ‘who’ is the subject in láter chapters ; Hezekiah sends messengers to
          Isaiah telling him this curious line “… for the sons are come to be birthed , 
          yet [there is]  not strength to bring forth” : ofcourse they were panicking but
          the line reminds very much of the Isaiah 66 one “give birth the same year”
          and resembles Hosea 13:13 (-though Hosea is almost undoable corrupt) ;
          it seems a bit as grasping straws ,
          but IF this story was a foreshadowing , then clues must appear that indeed
          the theme here is linked to the 40-49th day theme , no ? and if here shows
          the “birth not succeeded” : is that a juxta to Isaiah 66 ?
 
          act #3 : Hezekiah spreads out the scroll before IEUE   
          … as said in line 14 where KJV suggests “it is the letter from the servants
          of the Assyrian king” but seeing ‘scroll’ is álways a Red flag to us , right  —
          so , read : ‘Hezekiah decláred the scroll’ ? 
          he appears to have been a very God-fearing man (right in line 1) so that
          instead it must have intended “that he spread out the scroll pleading with
          God how they always declared his scroll” ! , see line 14 ;
          followed by his prayer (in 15-22) but more as thanksgiving AFTER God
          already spoken his verdict about the Assyrian king !
          would that not make sense as the reason why God forbade the siege ?
          so that Esau must have hidden the important ‘declaring the scroll’ :
 
          so what was the original buildup ?
          1st 
          — Hezekiah renting his clothes , sending servants to Isaiah
          — God answers                                                      (lines at start + end were mixed)
          — Assyrian king returns & gets slain                                                     (closing line)
          2nd
          — Hezekiah again goes to the temple
          — spreading out the scroll , saying ‘we declared your scroll’
          — says the prayer as thanksgiving
          — therefore Isaiah is sent to him (21-a) to tell him it was a foreshadowing
          — hénce the weird lines : 30 : sounds like the Jubilee !
                                                                   31 : sounds like the 144
                                                                   32 : sounds like it can be ‘Cush’ – showing in 9 !
          3d
          — now chapter 38 “Hezekiah is sick” = the 144 will be sick ;
                just like Hezekiah was sick when the Assyrian army was about to attack ;
          — yet not God speaks to Hezekiah (-or why have sent Isaiah to him in 37 ?)
                but Isaiah speaks for God únto Hezekiah ,
          — and not “in 15 +years (-he will get better)” but “49 + days” (?) for the 144
                because linked to ‘Hezekiah having declared the scroll’ 
                                                                                                   
                                                                                         however :
          … that in line 1 ‘Hezekiah goes to the temple’ and in line 14 again is illogical ;
          perhaps the ‘spreading out the scroll + his prayer’ was right at the start ?

 
                                                                                  falsifications
 
          a) why could not Hezekiah have been sick ?
          … he could – but it does not make sense ; even if ‘sick’ was the result of some
          transgression the picture painted of him is ‘that he was very righteous’ ;
          even IF afterwards “he got sick” – as foreshadowing of the 49 days now ? –
          the line at the end of 38 “and Isaiah made him bandages for his ulcer so that
          he healed” sounds like a typical Esau line : implying NOT Hezekiah was ill ;
          besides ,
          would it not be more logical that in chapter 38 you & we are sick , juxtaposed
          to the prayer by Hezekiah (37:15-20) , factually saying the same as hé did ?
 
         b) ‘185,000 slain Assyrians’ ?
          … because Esau distorted the entire buildup this line stands alone and could
          just as well been added by him to spice up the story ;
          there seems to be a tablet in the British museum telling how the Assyrian king
          took 200,000 people & cattle from Judea – so it could have written how the
          king retreated yet taking these hostages ; others claim that the emperors never
          mentioned their losses (-which is true) but that doesn’t help us neither ;
          the main question is ‘why so – unprecedented – specific and large number’ 
          immediately leading to the next question ‘why it is so close to 144,000’ ?    — 
          would God have mentioned any literal number about the 144 because this line
          belonged to the prophecy section áfter the avoided siege .. ? 
 
         c) how would ‘the Cush ones’ fit here ?
          … in Jeremiah we had “the small group of Cushites saving Jeremiah out from
          the dry well just before the Babylonian siege against Jerusalem” 
          [btw – ‘the pit wherein is no water’ , Zech.9:11 and see top of page]  ,
          and here the ingredients appear to be the same : but how ? in this chapter 37
          line 35 has “my servant + David” but ‘servant’ is a title of the Cush ones 
          and you see it is immediately linked to “I will save” ;
          line 9 “Tirhakah the king of Cush (but not ‘Ethiopia’)” is utterly contextless 
          and hence an Esau line — so how did “the Cush ones” really show here ?
          the ‘servant’ suggests that they have a similar position as in Jeremiah but
          that doesn’t mean we can assign them at the spot as ‘servants of Hezekiah’ ; 
          first we will need a workable concept concerning their position ..
