When God healed Hezekiah and rewound his clock, giving him another 15 years, He also did a corresponding miraculous sign, by rewinding the clock in the sky (the sun went back 10 hours to the start of the day). Such an awesome sign must mean that there is also a greater prophetic significance to these events. Hezekiah, being king of Israel, is a type of Israel, so we would expect that what God did for Hezekiah provides a prophetic picture of what God has done and will do for Israel. God is the God of the 2nd chance! Indeed, when Israel came to the end of Daniel's 70 Weeks (458 BC - 33 AD) in unbelief, unable to possess the Messianic Kingdom, God rewound her clock by 7 years, in order for those 7 years to run again as the Tribulation (after the Church-Age), by the end of which she will repent and be saved, and receive Christ as her King, enabling Him to establish His Kingdom on earth, in fulfilment of His covenant promises to Israel. 2 DAYS after God rewound Hezekiah's clock, he appeared before the Presence of God in the Temple, which marked the start of his second '15 years' of reign. Likewise 2 DAYS (2000 years) after God rewound Israel's clock, she will be restored to her place before God as His representative in the earth (now that the Church will have been raptured). Then, Daniel's 70th Week will be rerun, which will end with Israel in faith, and Christ returning in power and glory to deliver her from the armies of antichrist, and to establish His Kingdom on the earth. There is also a chronological problem in that 2 Kings 18 speaks of an Assyrian invasion in Hezekiah's 14th year, shortly after his miraculous healing (712 BC), whereas Assyrian records point to an invasion of Israel in 701 BC. Many alter the Biblical Chronology to try and make it fit with the Assyrian Chronology, but this distorts the Biblical Chronology. We demonstrate that the Bible records 2 Assyrian invasions by Sennacherib in Hezekiah's time. In the first invasion in 712 BC (2Kings 18:13-16), Hezekiah submitted to Assyria and paid tribute, thus bringing the invasion to an end. In the 2nd invasion (701 BC), Hezekiah did not submit or pay tribute, but instead called upon God in faith, and God saved Israel by sending the Angel of the Lord to destroy the Assyrian army overnight (2 Kings 18:17-35). Understanding that there were 2 Assyrian invasions in Hezekiah's time resolves a number of contradictions, and explains the discrepancy between the Biblical and Assyrian dates.
