Text: Isaiah 11
A new glimpse of a lively Branch.
The prophesied Person of Jesus.
What are some of the clear descriptions of Emmanuel.
A shooting sprout out of family of Jesse.
New Rod - rod of God’s anger (10:5) is replaced with a new rod.
This sprout shoots from the stump where David (Judah) has been cut off and a new one is coming.
(Jesse is David’s Father.
Accentuating that Jesus was to take David’s place) The Messiah will be the Branch out of his root.
Jeremiah 23:5-6 : A righteous branch (Fulfillment of the covenant made to Israel.
This was written after Isaiah was dead so what God started with Isaiah is filled in by Jeremiah.
The Holy Spirit would be upon him.
(Demonstrated in his Wisdom - age of twelve; not like the Pharisees but as an authority.)
Luke 4.14-21 Jesus reads in the synagogue this day is this fulfilled
The Prophesied Power of the Kingdom of God.
Describes the kingdom of God that was covered in the Sermon on the mount.
(Vs 4) This description put Jesus on the Judges seat.
Here is where we see that this is about a time different than the life of Jesus.
(Some of the great Millenial kingdom passages are recorded.
He will be ready for war (girdle) Lion and the lamb Speaks of the time, vs 9
Notice why this will be taking place vs. 9
“for they shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord”
Global knowledge of God we don’t know how it works but we know what it does.
Even the animals are not acting as they are meant to.
Isaiah 65:25 - almost a word for word.
Same time and same level of reality.
but notice this little phrase in verse 20
Kingdom marked by holiness, perfection yet and I don’t like this death will be there...
And there will be those that are accursed...
New Heaven's new earth both have described the same kingdom.
65:20 this child lives and dies.
The sinner will die and go to hell.
All of the perfection and they still reject the savior.
No sin still rejection
We can’t imagine how all of humanity would come together and there will still be those that refuse the saving knowledge of Christ.
If you wish to know the miracle of salvation remember that this is how deeply rooted our sin is.
Consider the preparation for this day…
Clarence Larkin put together a series of drawings that depicted the way that the prophets of the OT would have seen and received the images of the things to come.
How is it that a prophet would have knowledge of something that would happen in five years and then all of the sudden have God deliver him a message that wouldn’t be fulfilled for 2000 years.
Because they would see the events of the future like one mountain ridge layed overtop another mountain scene.
And what would look like one mountain would actually be a lower ridge with a valley below which couldn’t be seen and then another mountian top some distance away then again another mountain rise in the distance.
The Prophesied Pull of the Messiah
In Chapter 10 we find the Assyrian used by the hand of God as the judgement instrument against Israel.
But by the end of the chapter they have served their purpose.
God has humbled and scattered the flock of Judah and has left a remnant.
At the end of Chapter 10 Assyria will be cut off by Babylonian (lop off the bough)
This was obviously fulfilled just a few years later when right in front of Jerusalem Babylon and Assyria would fight to the death of Assyria.
God would lop off the bough.
But this is also a picture of the Anti- Christ when Christ will lop off the bough to establish his own kingdom.
Chapter 12 carries the picture.
The Prophet had a duel message.
The potent description of the future also had a here and now message.
A clear and timely message.
Jesus told would Identify himself.
I am the Branch my father is the husbandman.
Sometimes we approach this like a metaphor, but it was a indicator that Jesus is in fact the prophesied Messiah.
The Spirit came on him in the Baptism.
But we are also waiting for the return of our Savior to establish his kingdom.
This is what is described in verses 13-16.
After Jesus has drawn them together.
Through the banner of the messiah.
Let us consider then the age we live in today and ask ourselves what we are to learn from the prophecies of Isaiah 11.
There is no doubt that this draw will be the people of Israel after the rapture to Jerusalem.
When we consider the tumult of the day of Isaiah.
We can see our own day in it.
People chasing one possession after another.
Chasing pleasure
Chasing popularity
Growing levels of Isolation
Each level of wokeness bringing more and more power to the people who claim it.
People running further and further from God’s design of the home, society, and even gender.
This is is a reminder to us that sin is engrained in us.
This nature is so real and so permeating that there will be those in the kingdom of God that would rather be judged than live in an environment where Christ’s knowledge runs all of creation.
We have a lawless rebellious people run by the lawless and rebel.
If we were honest the people that gather together in the house of God wrestle with varying success this old flesh that wishes it self to be lawless.
Yet we see banner of Christ’s rightful reign waving in the land.
You and I may be at our wits end about this culture and this country but Jesus is still the signal shining out to men that those same sinners can run to the Salvation of the Lord.
Jesus is even now the shelter from the eternal payment of sin.
He can prevent the worst sinner from total destruction of which I am thankful.
He looks to purge the rebellious heart to find its joy in obediently following after him.
He offered himself as the branch to any who wished to grow up in him.
He makes his righteousness and Sanctification available to all that would turn to him.
Christ’s righteousness matters.
And all who are apart from him will find the same condemnation as that one who lives in the glory of Chrsit’s rest and chooses rebellion.
So you and I live in his generous grace and pull from him in heart and spirit.
Even in our ignorance we find ourselves dull to the immense kindness of Christ.
Let me remind you that
Jesus will judge with truth and calls his to be people righteousness truthfulness
Jesus called us to be judge right and truthful be like Jesus
His Rest is Glory
