The verse reveals a profound truth about the difference between human intentions and divine purposes. The Assyrian king, who is being used by God as a tool of judgment against Israel, has his own ambitions of conquest and domination. He seeks to destroy and subjugate many nations, driven by his own desires for power and expansion. However, this is not aligned with God's ultimate plan. God, in His sovereignty, can use even the ambitions of rulers for His purposes, demonstrating that His will is supreme. This passage reminds us of the complexity of divine providence, where God can work through human actions, even those with ill intentions, to bring about His greater plan for justice and order. It encourages believers to trust in God's overarching plan, even when human actions seem contrary to His ways. The verse also serves as a warning against pride and the assumption that human plans can override divine will, emphasizing the need for humility and reliance on God's wisdom.
But this is not what he intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations.
