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!

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
