Isaiah 11
Concise Complete
The peaceful character of Christ's kingdom and subjects.
(1-9) The conversion of the Gentiles and Jews. (10-16)
Verses 1-9 The
Messiah is called a Rod, and a Branch. The words signify a small, tender
product; a shoot, such as is easily broken off. He comes forth out of the stem
of Jesse; when the royal family was cut down and almost levelled with the
ground, it would sprout again. The house of David was brought very low at the
time of Christ's birth. The Messiah thus gave early notice that his kingdom was
not of this world. But the Holy Spirit, in all his gifts and graces, shall rest
and abide upon him; he shall have the fulness of the Godhead dwelling in him,
2:9. Many consider that seven
gifts of the Holy Spirit are here mentioned. And the doctrine of the influences
of the Holy Spirit is here clearly taught. The Messiah would be just and
righteous in all his government. His threatening shall be executed by the
working of his Spirit according to his word. There shall be great peace and
quiet under his government. The gospel changes the nature, and makes those who
trampled on the meek of the earth, meek like them, and kind to them. But it
shall be more fully shown in the latter days. Also Christ, the great Shepherd,
shall take care of his flock, that the nature of troubles, and of death itself,
shall be so changed, that they shall not do any real hurt. God's people shall be
delivered, not only from evil, but from the fear of it. Who shall separate us
from the love of Christ? The better we know the God of love, the more shall we
be changed into the same likeness, and the better disposed to all who have any
likeness to him. This knowledge shall extend as the sea, so far shall it spread.
And this blessed power there have been witnesses in every age of Christianity,
though its most glorious time, here foretold, is not yet arrived. Meanwhile let
us aim that our example and endeavours may help to promote the honour of Christ
and his kingdom of peace.
Verses 10-16
When the gospel should be publicly preached, the Gentiles would seek Christ
Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, and find rest of soul. When God's time is come
for the deliverance of his people, mountains of opposition shall become plains
before him. God can soon turn gloomy days into glorious ones. And while we
expect the Lord to gather his ancient people, and bring them home to his church,
also to bring in the fulness of the Gentiles, when all will be united in holy
love, let us tread the highway of holiness he has made for his redeemed. Let us
wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life, looking to him to
prepare our way through death, that river which separates this world from the
eternal world.
