Isaiah 11

Chapter 11

11:1  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

The Davidic kingdom

The order of events in Isa. 10., 11., is noteworthy. Isa. 10. gives the distress of the Remnant in Palestine in the great tribulation. Psalms 2:5 ; Revelation 7:14 and the approach and destruction of the Gentile host under the Beast. ; Daniel 7:8 ; Revelation 19:20 . Is. 11. immediately follows with its glorious picture of the kingdom-age. Precisely the same order is found in Re 19., 20. (See "Kingdom," O.T., ; Genesis 1:26-28 ; Zechariah 12:8 N.T. ; Luke 1:31-33 ; 1 Corinthians 15:28 . Also (See Scofield "Matthew 3:2") See Scofield " Matthew 6:33 ".

That nothing of this occurred at the first coming of Christ is evident from a comparison of the history of the times of Christ with this and all the other parallel prophecies. So far from regathering dispersed Israel and establishing peace in the earth, His crucifixion was soon followed (A.D. 70) by the destruction of Jerusalem, and the utter scattering of the Palestinian Jews amongst the nations.

shall come forth a rod

This chapter is a prophetic picture of the glory of the future kingdom. This is the kingdom announced by John Baptist as "at hand." It was then rejected, but will be set up when David's Son returns in glory Luke 1:31 Luke 1:32 ; Acts 15:15 Acts 15:16 .

Branch (See Scofield "Isaiah 4:2")

11:2  And 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;

fear (See Scofield "Psalms 19:9")

11:3  And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

fear (See Scofield "Psalms 19:9")

11:9  They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

for the earth

(See Scofield "Habakkuk 2:14")

11:10  And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
