Isaiah 14:27
For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Study Note
The rhetorical question 'the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?' asserts divine purposiveness as the ultimate explanatory framework for history. The verse concludes the oracle against Assyria (14:24-27) and functions as a general theological principle: what God decrees cannot be overturned by any human or cosmic power. Romans 8:31-39 develops a similar logic in the context of Christian assurance: nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. The 'stretched out hand' image recurs throughout Isaiah (5:25; 9:12, 17, 21; 10:4) as a symbol of divine action that is not retracted until its purpose is accomplished.
