IMMANUEL GOD WITH US

These chapters prophecies on the coming of Immanuel. What a great prophecy that tells of the coming of the child Immanuel who will rule upon the throne of David and will be the Savior of the world.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a child is given: and the government
shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6.

What a great promise this prophecy gives. Not only for the people of Isiah's time but for us also. This tells us that God is giving this child to us. It also tells us that He is God. Where would we all be if this prophecy was never fulfilled? We would be dead in our sins with no hope for salvation.

A woe is put upon those administrators who have perverted justice with unrighteous decrees. God's anger is on Israel who had turned their backs to him. God is going to use Assyria to punish Israel and then he will punish Assyria.

Isiah makes a prediction that the remnant of Israel will return. These are the ones that will believe in the Lord, the Holy one of Israel.

As we go into Chapter 11, it foretells of the millenial reign where the Messiah will rule. It will be a time of complete peace and harmony where the wild animals of prey will lie down with the more domesticated animals. The wild animals will no longer eat flesh but straw instead.

"The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord" ((11:9).
What a wonderful time that will be. We as saints will rule with Him.

Chapter 12 is a mighty climax to the Immanuel prophecy. The people have turned back to God and God is now their comforter.

Behold, God is my Salvation: I will trust and not be afraid for the
Lord Jehovah (Yahwah) is my strength and my song: He also is become
my Salvation (12:2).

This entire passage speaks of one person; that being Jesus our Lord and Savior. Thank you God for fulfilling this prophecy so we may have eternal life.
