On this second Sunday of Advent as we read from the 11th chapter of Isaiah, verses 1 thru 10 we see a prophetic picture of the future.
We see the prophecy of the coming Messiah from the house of David and that the Spirit of God will be upon him. He will have the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel, knowledge and might, he will delight in the fear of the Lord.
He will be quick in understanding and will not make judgments solely on what he sees or hears, but will make judgments with fairness and righteousness. With words from his lips will he slay the wicked who are against him.
This prophetic message is also a picture of the peace that will be for all in the glory of the future kingdom, which will be established when David's son returns in glory, and the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord.
Luke 1: 32-33 He shall be great, and shall be called the
Son of the Highest; and the Lord shall give unto him the throne of his father, David. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
