[[Isaiah]] 9:6 is a definite prediction of the birth of our [[Lord]] [[Jesus Christ]]. The prophecy of this verse is fulfilled in [[Matthew]] 1:18-25.

+

In these chapters [[Isaiah]] sees the real need of [[Israel]]. After careful evaluation of himself in the first seven chapters, he is now prepared to serve [[God]] and preach His Word. He is no longer wrapped up in his own needs, but wants to do [[God]]'s will. He is no longer burdened by [[sin]], and is no longer discouraged. He knows [[God]] is on the throne.

+

In chapter 11:2 we see all three persons of the Trinity. "The spirit of the [[Lord]] ([[Jehovah]]) shall rest upon him (Christ)." From verse 4 on we have the description of the glorious kingdom that Christ will establish when He returns to reign. It will be a time of honest [[judgment]], when [[sin]] will be dealt with immediately. Nature will be restored and there will no longer be a curse on the earth. Violence and war will be gone. The earth will be full of the knowledge of the [[Lord]]. These promises are literal promises of a literal kingdom, over which Christ shall one day reign. In verse 10 we are told that Christ will call the Gentiles as well as the [[Jews]]. The [[Jews]] will be called back to their land. People once laughed at these promises, but now that [[Israel]] possesses her own land, their fulfillment seems near.

+

Chapter 12 is the nation's song of [[victory]]. The people of [[Israel]] sang this song when they were delivered from [[Egypt]] (Exodus 15:2) and when they returned from exile and built the Temple (see Psalm 118:14). They will sing it again when they are back in their land in [[victory]] and glory, when [[Jesus]] reigns in [[peace]] and prosperity. I would encourage you to memorize verse 2 of this great chapter. "Behold, [[God]] is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the [[Lord]] JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.".
