—Isaiah 11:1-10
by: Gabrielle Watt.
This passage can be broken down into 4 parts. The first, verse 1, reveals how the Messiah would bring about new life and be the foundation from which His followers would prosper. The second, verses 2-3a, show how He would have several characteristics of the Spirit of the Lord: wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and fear of the Lord. The third, verses 3b-5, is how He would interact with man. Finally, the fourth, verses 6-10, show how the Messiah’s reign would transform and reorder the world as we know it for both Jew and Gentile. This will be a time of complete peace and widespread knowledge of God.
