Isaiah 9

The prophet Isaiah spoke liberally about the Messiah and His coming dominion. When the “Kingdoms of this world” seem to flaunt their power and authority, the Christian need only absorb verse 7 to put it all into perspective.

Of Christ Isaiah said, “Power and peace will be in His kingdom and will continue to grow forever. He will rule as king on David’s throne and over David’s kingdom. He will make it strong by ruling with justice and goodness from now on and forever. The Lord All-Powerful will do this because of HIS strong love (zeal) for his people.

God has promised and is determined to accomplish this goal. It will all belong to Christ Jesus and be under His Authority. We now have a glorious opportunity to become right with Christ and await the unveiling of this Kingdom on earth.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. [Ps. 2:12]
