Read Isa. 9:6,7
These two verses do a good job of summing up God's plan through Jesus. He will come as a child, God's gift to mankind, but the burden of the whole world will be on him. His name shall embody all that he is. He will be a miracle, a marvelous thing: our adviser, deliberator, and guide. He will be our powerful warrior, eternal father and governor of our welfare. His empire and prosperity will become increasingly great upon his chosen people and his dominion. He will establish his kingdom with divine law for ever. In his jealousy for his bride he will accomplish his plan. Zech. 14:9 says "And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day there shall be one Lord, and his name one." And verse 11: "And men shall dwell in it (Israel), and there shall be no more utter destruction: but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited." Dan. 7:14, and verse 27 says this about the people: "And there was given him (Jesus) dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom which shall not be destroyed." "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdoms, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."
Lord, your wisdom and understanding goes beyond our comprehension. We are so grateful to be under your government and to have you as our God. May your kingdom come!
