ISAIAH 11–12

ISAIAH 11–12

Reign (11:1–10). God cuts down the tall trees (Isa. 10:33–34), but He builds a great kingdom from a tiny shoot (v. 1). Our Savior had a humble beginning at a time when David’s family was in dishonor; but in the end, His kingdom will prevail over all earthly powers. He will bring peace on earth and the glory of God will cover the earth. Are you praying, “Thy kingdom come”?

Return (11:11–16). The humble Root is now the leader of an army! He defeats the enemy and gathers His people to their land, and He also rallies the Gentiles who seek Him. It is the picture of another “exodus” as God dries up the waters and makes a highway for His people. But this time there will be no wilderness wandering!

Rejoicing (12:1–6). Worshiping people give thanks to the Lord for saving them and bringing them home again. Witnessing people tell all the nations of the greatness of God. Compare verse 2 with Exodus 15:2 and Psalm 118:14, and be sure to believe this “song” for yourself.
