Oh… it’s better than Back to the Future or Fantasy Island, the Prophet Isaiah speaks of Jesus 2nd return and Gathering His Flock from all the corners of the world.  Isaiah spoke before Jesus had been born on Earth and yet God told of the completeness of that portion of His Coming by His Second Coming. 

PART 1 – HE CAME – PART 2 – HE COMES AGAIN – WE ARE NOT IN “INTERMISSION” – BUT IN “INTERCESSION” BY HIS SPIRIT.  He will come again. He is also here now by His Spirit in us.

INTERCESSION !!!

Isaiah 11 gives us hope, as Jesus won’t have judgment on us by His eyes or ears but by His Spirit which will judge us by His Righteousness. I always think of Jesus ‘righting us’ – standing us upright and then demonstrating our holiness by His covering over us. Not sweeping our sins under a rug, but banishing the sight of them. All to see is HIM.

We have the greatest news in Him because He came the first time and finished the prophecy of His sacrifice. Here on out it’s all about His recovery of each of us, now, while on earth, and then collection forever as His Own. 

There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11:1-2

Jesus as that rod from the stem of Jesse, and Jesus as the Vine in our branch, then I know He will reach me, reach us, way out there, and pull us close. 

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, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath ofHis lips He shall slay the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist. Isaiah:3-5

Amen !!!
