Isaías 9

Morgan comments - All of these prophecies (HE IS REFERRING TO Isaiah 9:3-5) have implications for the future, and as we will see in a moment some of them are pointing toward our Lord’s return in glory at the Second Coming. Isaiah was looking beyond our Lord’s first coming to His second coming and the establishing of His kingdom. Instead of a small number, the Jewish people would be a mighty nation. Instead of oppression, they would have joy. Instead of defeat and exile, the Lord will rule and reign over the earth from Mount Zion. Isaiah is full of this message; it’s one of his great themes. For example, look at Isaiah 11:1-5+ "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit." (MORGAN SAYS - This is talking about the Messiah, the Son of David, son of Jesse.) "The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord—and He will delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what He sees with His eyes or decide by what He hears with His ears; but with righteousness He will judge the needy, with justice He will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth; with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked. Righteousness will be His belt and faithfulness the sash around His waist." Now, if we had time, I’d turn over to Revelation 19:11-21+ and read about the moment of Christ’s return and show you how similar these passages are. There are three moments of victory that mean everything to me. One is in the past—when Jesus conquered death and rose victorious from the tomb. One is in the present—for Jesus gives me victory day by day over temptation and sin and sadness. One is in the future—when Jesus will rule and reign as the King of Kings over all of time and eternity. He is our victory-giver. (Sermon) Isaiah 9:5 For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle tumult, and cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.: Tumult: Isa 13:4 1Sa 14:19 Jer 47:3 Joe 2:5 Na 3:2 Burning: Isa 4:4 10:16,17 30:33 37:36 66:15,16 Ps 46:9 Eze 39:8-10 Mal 3:2,3 Mt 3:11 Ac 2:3,19 2Th 1:8 fuel: Lev 3:11,16 Isaiah 9 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries UNIVERSAL PEACE For- The second successive term of explanation - see comment related to "for" under Isaiah 9:4. How will Jehovah put an end to "the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor"? This verse explains that He will accomplish these ends by putting an end to wars! Another way to describe no wars is "peace on earth." Has this prophecy been fulfilled? Obviously it has not been fulfilled and awaits a future time when war will be brought to an end. This can only transpire with the return of the Prince of peace, Who alone can bring about world peace! Fuel for fire - Isaiah describes a future day when the weapons of warfare will only be good for burning because there will be a God ordained time of peace. Some commentators side step trying to explain Isaiah's prophetic promise of global peace and absence of war. Has this utopian dream of world peace ever occurred in human history? Certainly not. Therefore Isaiah is speaking a prophecy that awaits a future fulfillment. And yet Young in his highly respected commentary on Isaiah explains it this way… They are no longer needed, for a Child will be born, and His birth will bring peace to His people, for He will Himself be the Prince of Peace. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of his good pleasure” (Luke 2:14). Comment: Beloved, Young's explanation that Christ's first advent brought global peace is simply not true. Yes, Young is correct that the Prince of peace has come (and for believers there is now peace with God Ro 5:1), but literal world peace still alludes us (have you read the newspaper today?). World peace will not be realized until the triumphant Second Coming of Christ when He crushes all His enemies under His feet (Rev 19:15-note). It is worth noting that in all 3 volumes of Young's commentary (some 1000 plus pages), he mentions the Second Coming only two times! This passage is reminiscent of the description of world peace in Isaiah 2… And He (Messiah at His Second Coming) will judge between the nations, and will render decisions for many peoples (i.e., Gentiles) and they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war (The Millennium will be a time of peace). (Is 2:4). In the Psalms we read the wonderful prophecy of a future glorious day when… He (Jehovah) makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire. (Ps 46:9) J

Isaías 9

Morgan - We sometimes need a financial counselor, a legal counselor, a career counselor, or perhaps a marriage counselor. Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor, and we can study the Gospels to see how unfailingly He counseled all who came to Him. As He prepared to return to heaven, He told His disciples, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you... the Holy Spirit” (John 14:16, 26). The Lxx has "great (megas) Counselor (boule - speaks of inner deliberation which results in a plan, a resolution, a decision)" Wonderful (06382) (pele' see also peliy, pala) means a miracle, a marvel, a marvelous thing or something extraordinary, unusual or astounding which causes a sense of great amazement. This word is always used in a context of God's acts or words, except for La 1:9. Gilbrant - With only one exception (Lam. 1:9), the noun peleʾ refers to "wonders" performed or spoken by God. David said that the testimonies of the Law were "wonderful," that is, caused men to be filled with amazement and awe (Ps. 119:129). Exodus 15:11 says that God is to be held in fear and reverence for the wonders He performed in Egypt. These miracles are remembered by subsequent generations as they offer praises to the Lord (Ps. 77:11). In a messianic prophecy, Jesus Christ is referred to as Wonderful (Isa. 9:6). Even in the verse considered an exception, the workings of the Lord are evident. In his lament over Jerusalem, which was destroyed by the Babylonians, Jeremiah cries out, "Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her" (Lam. 1:9NIV). (Complete Biblical Library Hebrew-English Dictionary) Pele' - 12v in the OT in the NAS - (KJV adds a use in Isa 29:14). NAS = astonishingly(1), wonderful(2), wonders(9). Ex 15:11; Ps 77:11, 14; 78:12; 88:10, 12; 89:5; 119:129; Isa 9:6; 25:1; Lam 1:9; Dan 12:6 The TWOT commenting on this word group adds that… Preponderantly both the verb and substantive refer to the acts of God, designating either cosmic wonders or historical achievements on behalf of Israel. That is, in the Bible the root pl, refers to things that are unusual, beyond human capabilities. As such, it awakens astonishment (pl) in man. Young - The root (of wonderful) is used to describe the miracles which God performed in Egypt, namely, the dividing of the sea, the safe crossing of the Red Sea, the leading by pillar of cloud and fire, the cleaving of the rocks in the desert and the providing of water. All these mighty miracles are characterized as wonders. (The Book of Isaiah 3 Vol. Edward J. Young)
