Righteous Reign of the Branch

1Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,
         And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

2The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him,
         The spirit of wisdom and understanding,
         The spirit of counsel and strength,
         The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.

3And He will delight in the fear of the LORD,
         And He will not judge by what His eyes see,
         Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;

4But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
         And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth;
         And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
         And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.

5Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins,
         And faithfulness the belt about His waist.

6And the wolf will dwell with the lamb,
         And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
         And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
         And a little boy will lead them.

7Also the cow and the bear will graze,
         Their young will lie down together,
         And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra,
         And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.

9They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain,
         For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD
         As the waters cover the sea.

10Then in that day
         The nations will resort to the root of Jesse,
         Who will stand as a signal for the peoples;
         And His resting place will be glorious.

The Restored Remnant

11Then it will happen on that day that the Lord
         Will again recover the second time with His hand
         The remnant of His people, who will remain,
         From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath,
         And from the islands of the sea.

12And He will lift up a standard for the nations
         And assemble the banished ones of Israel,
         And will gather the dispersed of Judah
         From the four corners of the earth.

13Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart,
         And those who harass Judah will be cut off;
         Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
         And Judah will not harass Ephraim.

14They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west;
         Together they will plunder the sons of the east;
         They will possess Edom and Moab,
         And the sons of Ammon will be subject to them.

15And the LORD will utterly destroy
         The tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
         And He will wave His hand over the River
         With His scorching wind;
         And He will strike it into seven streams
         And make men walk over dry-shod.

16And there will be a highway from Assyria
         For the remnant of His people who will be left,
         Just as there was for Israel
         In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

July the Second Light and Lightning
"And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him." --ISAIAH xi. 1-10. And the spirit is one of light! All the doors and windows are open. His correspondences are perfect and unbroken. He is of "quick understanding," keen-scented to discern the essences of things, alert to perceive the reality behind the semblance, to "see things as they are." All the great primary senses are awake, and He has knowledge of every "secret place." "He shall smite ... with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath …

The First Trumpet.
The first trumpet of the seventh seal begins from the final disturbance and overthrow of the Roman idolarchy at the close of the sixth seal; and as it was to bring the first plague on the empire, now beginning to fall, it lays waste the third part of the earth, with a horrible storm of hail mingled with fire and blood; that is, it depopulates the territory and people of the Roman world, (viz. the basis and ground of its universal polity) with a terrible and bloody irruption of the northern nations, …

Would you see when and where the kingdoms of this fallen world are become a kingdom of God, the gospel prophet tells you, that it is then and there where all enmity ceases. "The wolf," says he, "shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid. The calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall feed, and their young ones shall lie down together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The suckling child shall …

Fragment iv.
[1745] As the elders who saw John the disciple of the Lord remembered that they had heard from him how the Lord taught in regard to those times, and said]: "The days will come in which vines shall grow, having each ten thousand branches, and in each branch ten thousand twigs, and in each true twig ten thousand shoots, and in every one of the shoots ten thousand clusters, and on every one of the clusters ten thousand grapes, and every grape when pressed will give five-and-twenty metretes of wine. …

The General Deliverance
"The earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that subjected it: Yet in hope that the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth, and travaileth in pain together until now." Rom. 8:19-22. 1. Nothing is more sure, than that as "the Lord is loving to every …

Appendix ix. List of Old Testament Passages Messianically Applied in Ancient Rabbinic Writings
THE following list contains the passages in the Old Testament applied to the Messiah or to Messianic times in the most ancient Jewish writings. They amount in all to 456, thus distributed: 75 from the Pentateuch, 243 from the Prophets, and 138 from the Hagiorgrapha, and supported by more than 558 separate quotations from Rabbinic writings. Despite all labour care, it can scarcely be hoped that the list is quite complete, although, it is hoped, no important passage has been omitted. The Rabbinic references …

The Absurd Doctrine of Abaelard, who Attributes Properly and Specically the Absolute and Essential Names to one Person, is Opposed.
The absurd doctrine of Abaelard, who attributes properly and specically the absolute and essential names to one Person, is opposed. 5. Now notice more clearly what he thinks, teaches, and writes. He says that Power properly and specially belongs to the Father, Wisdom to the Son, which, indeed, is false. For the Father both, is, and is most truly called, Wisdom, and the Son Power, and what is common to Both is not the proprium , of Each singly. There are certainly some other names which do not belong …
