fulfillment

Isaiah 9:7
"Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

The writing of the prophet Isaiah was about seven hundred years before Jesus's incarnation! Amazing prophecies! And, yet people are walking in darkness to this very day! We pray that they will see the LIGHT in the coming days and weeks.

In yesterday's verse, Isaiah recorded several names for the Messiah, "WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." We will study these descriptive titles that GOD gives to His Son through the pen of Isaiah. 

This week WONDERFUL and COUNCILOR. Wonderful is miraculous, beyond anything we can imagine. Councilor is one who comes alongside to comfort, encourage, admonish, instruct, and summon. You will not have a better friend in life than Jesus. He is here for YOU.

Today's verse prophesies that Jesus Christ will establish and maintain a global kingdom, characterized by peace, justice, and righteousness, with no end in sight. This is often a Messianic prophecy, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment of God’s plan of redemption through Jesus Christ.

From this verse we understand the universality of Christ’s kingdom, extending beyond Israel to all nations. We can also rest assured in the eternal nature of Christ’s reign, with no end in sight. Knowing the character of Christ’s kingdom, marked by peace, justice, and righteousness.
The fulfillment of God’s plan of redemption through Jesus Christ, the Messiah. These themes are echoed throughout Scripture, particularly in the New Testament, where Jesus is revealed as the King of kings and Lord of lords! Hallelujah!

Mark 6:32&33 "32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. 33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew Him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto Him." This summer we read through the Gospel of Mark two times! I praise you for studying God’s word, this world needs more Holy Bible studying Christians. Before we move on from the Gospel of Mark, we are going to review what my Pastor considers the most important point in the book, (other than the events in and arond crucifixion and resurrection) the feeding of the five thousand. All four Gospels describe Jesus multiplying five loaves and two fish to feed a crowd of about 5,000 men (plus women and children in Matthew), with twelve baskets of leftovers gathered afterward. Yesterday’s verses were leading up to this momentous occasion.  The apostles returned from their first missionary journey, they reported to Jesus all they had done and taught. Jesus invited the...

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...

Jeroboam

2 Kings 14:25 "He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of His servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher." We’re continuing our series on God’s calling of His people. Last week we saw how God transformed the Apostle Paul—from zealous enemy to greatest champion. A clear theme is emerging: those God calls often start with reluctance. This week we meet one of the most famous reluctant prophets, Jonah. Jonah’s first recorded prophecy appears in 2 Kings 14:25. He foretold that King Jeroboam II would restore Israel’s borders from Hamath to the Dead Sea. This prophecy came true, bringing a season of prosperity to the northern kingdom. This historical note is important. It confirms Jonah was a real prophet whose words carried divine authority. By naming him “Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher,” Scripture anchors the he...
