THE KINGDOM OF THE MESSIAH
Isa 10:33-34 and Isa 11:1-9
THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL WILL RETURN
Listen carefully, the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will lop off the [beautiful] boughs with terrifying force; The tall in stature will be cut down And the lofty will be abased and humiliated.
He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an iron axe, And Lebanon (the Assyrian) will fall by the Mighty One. [Gen_49:24; Isa_9:6]
THE RIGHTEOUS REIGN OF THE BRANCH
Then a Shoot (the Messiah) will spring from the stock of Jesse [David’s father], And a Branch from his roots will bear fruit. [Isa_4:2; Mat_2:23; Rev_5:5; Rev_22:16]
And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him– The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and strength, The Spirit of knowledge and of the [reverential and obedient] fear of the LORD–
And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make decisions by what His ears hear;
But with righteousness and justice He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the downtrodden of the earth; And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
And righteousness will be the belt around His loins, And faithfulness the belt around His waist.
And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatted steer together; And a little child will lead them.
And the cow and the bear will graze [together], Their young will lie down together, And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the nursing child will [safely] play over the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den [and not be hurt].
They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea.

17. What hope was left for Israel?
THE KINGDOM OF THE MESSIAH
The advance of the Assyrian along the great north road is graphically described. It was marked by raided villages and towns. The night sky was lurid with flames. But his collapse would be as sudden and irretrievable as the felling of forest timber. As the one chapter closes we can almost hear the crash of the Assyrian tree to the ground, and there is no sprout from his roots. But in the next the prophet descries a fair and healthy branch uprising from the trunk of Jesse’s line. The vision of the King is then presented, who can be none other than the divine Redeemer on whom rests the sevenfold Spirit of God. The second verse defines the work of the Comforter, and is evidently the model of that royal hymn, Veni Creator Spiritus. But remember that He on whom this divine unction rested longs to share the pentecostal gift with the least of His disciples, 1Jn_2:27. Note that as man’s sin brought travail and groaning on all creation, so will His redemption deliver it, Rom_8:19-25.
