Isaiah 11, The coming KING! Get ready, look up!

Isa 11:1, THERE SHALL COME FORTH A ROD FROM THE STEM OF JESSE, AND A BRANCH SHALL GROW OUT OF HIS ROOTS. 

Isaiah seeing the shocking judgement of GOD upon HIS people; like trees in a forest that were cut down, so were HIS people!

Isa 10:18-19, And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, Both soul and body; And THEY WILL BE AS WHEN A SICK MAN WASTES AWAY. THEN THE REST OF THE TREES OF HIS FOREST WILL BE SO FEW IN NUMBER That a child may write them.

But, out of one of those stumps, Jesse the father of David, shall rise up a strong BRANCH by the name of JESUS, the SON of the living GOD!

Jer 23:5, “Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “THAT I WILL RAISE TO DAVID A BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; A KING SHALL REIGN AND PROSPER, And execute judgment and RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE EARTH.

Isa 11:3-4a, His delight is in the fear of the LORD, And HE SHALL NOT JUDGE BY THE SIGHT OF HIS EYES, NOR DECIDE BY THE HEARING OF HIS EARS; BUT WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS He shall judge the poor, …

JESUS will reign as KING of all the earth (Zec 14:9), and HE shall judge in righteousness! HE will not need witnesses for HE knows all things!

Isa 11:4b, He shall strike the earth WITH THE ROD OF HIS MOUTH, AND WITH THE BREATH OF HIS LIPS HE SHALL SLAY THE WICKED.

HE spoke the universe into existence, by the breath of HIS lips HE created the world! HE shall strike the nations with the words of HIS lips!

Psa 33:9, FOR HE SPOKE, AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED, AND IT STOOD FAST. 

Rev 19:15, Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of ALMIGHTY GOD.

Isa 11:5 NLT, He will wear righteousness like a belt and truth like an undergarment. 

Rev 19:16, And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 

THE LORD IS COMING BE PREPARED!

Rev 22:20, He who testifies to these things says, “SURELY I AM COMING QUICKLY.” Amen. Even so, come, LORD JESUS!

Psalm 126, nothing to hard for HIM!

Psa 126:1, WHEN THE LORD BROUGHT BACK THE CAPTIVITY OF ZION, WE WERE LIKE THOSE WHO DREAM. 

There are things which in our mind seem impossible for it to happen, Yet nothing is impossible for GOD!

Jer 32:27, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?

Even though JESUS told them beforehand, (MATT 16:21), They didn’t believe the testimony of the ladies who saw the empty tomb! We saw HIM die; these are just tales!

Luk 24:10-11, It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, WHO TOLD THESE THINGS TO THE APOSTLES. AND THEIR WORDS SEEMED TO THEM LIKE IDLE TALES, AND THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THEM.

Israel was a scattered people for almost 2000 years, yet in 1948 they were reborn! Only GOD can do such things!

Luk 18:27, But He said, “THE THINGS WHICH ARE IMPOSSIBLE WITH MEN ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD.” 

Psa 126:2, THEN OUR MOUTH WAS FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, AND OUR TONGUE WITH SINGING. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” 

When the people saw the impossible happen, their hearts were overwhelmed with joy and laugher! Look what the LORD has done!

Psa 126:3, THE LORD HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR US, AND WE ARE GLAD. 

Imagine the great joy being reunited with loved ones who passed away! I WILL SEE MY PARENTS AGAIN, NOT IN THEIR FEEBLE BODIES, BUT IN THEIR GLORIFIED BODIES!

1Co 2:9, But as it is written: “EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”

WE HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET! THE BEST IS YET TO COME! HE IS FAITHFUL!

Psa 126:5, THOSE WHO SOW IN TEARS SHALL REAP IN JOY. 

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning! Be ready for HE is near!

Rev 21:4, And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Psalm 37, The Wicked and the JUST!

Psa 37:3, Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 

It is because of the LORD that the land is able to provide food for all! YET we can also feed ourselves in the TRUTH OF HIS WORD! We have to Trust in HIM, prepare our hearts, seek the LORD, read HIS word and DO IT!

Ezr 7:10, FOR EZRA HAD PREPARED HIS HEART TO SEEK THE LAW OF THE LORD, AND TO DO IT, AND TO TEACH STATUTES AND ORDINANCES IN ISRAEL. 

Psa 37:4-5, DELIGHT YOURSELF ALSO IN THE LORD, AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART. COMMIT YOUR WAY TO THE LORD, TRUST ALSO IN HIM, AND HE SHALL BRING IT TO PASS.

Delight, commit and Trust in the LORD and HE will give to you what you’ve desired! YET, WHAT WAS DESIRED WILL BE LIKE RAGS COMPARED TO WHAT HE HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM! BUT THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

1Co 2:9, But as it is written: “EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” 

Psa 37:23-24, THE STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD, And He delights in his way. THOUGH HE FALL, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand.

It’s not “IF WE FALL”, we will have trials in this life, but the trials are meant to strengthen our faith in HIM; for HE upholds us!

Psa 37:25, I have been young, and now am old; YET I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS DESCENDANTS BEGGING BREAD.

Psa 37:28, For the LORD LOVES JUSTICE, And DOES NOT FORSAKE HIS SAINTS; They are preserved forever, BUT THE DESCENDANTS OF THE WICKED SHALL BE CUT OFF. 

Since the LORD is a righteous Judge, HE will not let the wicked go without punishment!

Pro 2:22, But the wicked will be cut off from the earth, And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it. 

Time is short and HE is at the door! Seek HIM while HE can be found and do good! You wont regret it!

2Chronicles 28, a hardened heart!

2Ch 28:1-3, Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king… and HE DID NOT DO WHAT WAS RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD… FOR HE WALKED IN THE WAYS OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL, and MADE MOLDED IMAGES FOR THE BAALS. He BURNED INCENSE IN THE VALLEY OF THE SON OF HINNOM, AND BURNED HIS CHILDREN IN THE FIRE, …

He sacrificed his children to Molech a pagan, demon, so called god? ABORTION!

2Ch 28:5, Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria…

Judah was attacked by Syria, Edomites, Philistines;

2Ch 28:19, FOR THE LORD BROUGHT JUDAH LOW BECAUSE OF AHAZ KING OF ISRAEL, FOR HE HAD ENCOURAGED MORAL DECLINE IN JUDAH AND HAD BEEN CONTINUALLY UNFAITHFUL TO THE LORD. 

THIS IS A PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF OUR COUNTRY. FOR WE SACRIFICES TO MOLECH BY WAY OF ABORTION! OUR COUNTRY IS IN THE STATE OF MORAL DECLINE WHERE GOOD IS NOW BAD AND BAD IS NOW GOOD!

2Ch 28:22, Now in the time of his distress King Ahaz BECAME INCREASINGLY UNFAITHFUL TO THE LORD. This is that King Ahaz. 

Trials are designed to bring you closer to GOD, yet it drives others away! Which are you?

Psa 18:6, IN MY DISTRESS I CALLED UPON THE LORD, AND CRIED OUT TO MY GOD; HE HEARD MY VOICE FROM HIS TEMPLE, AND MY CRY CAME BEFORE HIM, EVEN TO HIS EARS. 

Rom 2:5, BUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR HARDNESS AND YOUR IMPENITENT HEART YOU ARE TREASURING UP FOR YOURSELF WRATH IN THE DAY OF WRATH AND REVELATION OF THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OF GOD, 

GUARD YOUR HEART AND SUBMIT TO GOD; IN TRIALS SEEK HIM AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU STRENGTH! THE HARDENING OF YOUR HEART WILL ONLY BRING WRATH UPON YOU!

2Chronicles 19, Prepare your heart!

2Ch 19:1, Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned safely to his house in Jerusalem. 

King Ahab setup Jehoshaphat to be killed, yet he cried out to the LORD and was saved!

2Ch 18:29,31, And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle; BUT YOU PUT ON YOUR ROBES.” …

So it was, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they surrounded him to attack; BUT JEHOSHAPHAT CRIED OUT, AND THE LORD HELPED HIM, AND GOD DIVERTED THEM FROM HIM. 

King Jehoshaphat almost lost his life because of the alliance he made with this evil family!

2Ch 19:2, And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “SHOULD YOU HELP THE WICKED AND LOVE THOSE WHO HATE THE LORD? … 

JESUS DIDN’T SAY TO ALLY YOURSELF WITH YOUR ENEMIES, BUT TO PRAY FOR THEM!

Mat 5:44, But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 

2Ch 19:3, Nevertheless good things are found in you, in that you have removed the wooden images from the land, and HAVE PREPARED YOUR HEART TO SEEK GOD.” 

His great grandfather Rehoboam didn’t prepare his heart to seek the LORD thus did evil!

2Ch 12:14, And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD. 

WE ALL HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT DON’T KNOW THE LORD, PRAY FOR THEM, DON’T PARTNER UP WITH THE UNGODLY!  PREPARE YOU HEART BY READING HIS WORD DAILY, AND SEEK HIS PRESENCE BY PRAYER!
