The Root Of Jesse

April 9, 2018- Monday-#669- Daily Morning Bible Reading and Meditation-Isaiah 11 KJV

***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.***

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

[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 ; 

[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: 

[4] But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 

[5] And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 

[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.

Words to ponder for today:

A Root of Jesse

Jesse is the father of King David of Israel; a shepherd boy whom, in his solid faith in GOD, was called and anointed to be the second king of Israel; mighty and great, and was become the apple of GOD’s eyes.

From him GOD has promised the continuity and foreverness of his kingdom. 

And from his seed was born The Only Son of GOD JESUS CHRIST, Whom is to rule a heavenly kingdom on earth. 

Matthew 1:1 KJV

[1] The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

The Kingdom that was mentioned here appears to be the future kingdom which was written in revelation:

Revelation 21:1-3 KJV

[1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 

[2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 

[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

He is The LORD JESUS CHRIST,Whom the Gentiles, mentioned in the bible have sought. This was first mentioned in the new testament wherein the wisemen from the east followed the star which guided them; leading them to where that young child JESUS was with her mother Mary and Joseph, who took Him, The Son of GOD as his. Bowed down before The Young Child Who is to be the Messiah, revered Him and offered to Him gold, frankincense and myrrh. 

 Matthew 2:1-2,10-11 KJV

[1] Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 

[2] Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 

[10] When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 

[11] And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

These were all prophetically written in the old testament and have accurately penned down in the new testament the birth of The LORD JESUS CHRIST, who was from the root of Jesse, as an ensign, that people may know what The LORD GOD had promised He fulfilled. 

The coming Man- GOD JESUS CHRIST was foretold by the prophets of The LORD even the Prophet Isaiah. 

He was born to confirm to mankind the ways of GOD. Even the wrath of GOD, which was poured out to His stiff-necked, stout-hearted people; so that we may know who is This One saying “I AM” was, is and is to come.

He is the root of Jesse, Who stood for an ensign of the people;  Him was the Gentiles sought: his rest is glorious.

He made His way perfect, on that cross of calvary. He completed and finished what GOD His Father set Him to be. He did it for love to save you and me. He died on that cross, buried for three days , rose again the third day and now seated at the right hand of GOD His Father. 

He found and saved me, when I responded to His calling.  I hope and pray you too will be saved while His grace abounds still; before that great day of The LORD be fulfilled. 

Take heed to His calling. 

Be saved today! 

Isaiah 11:1-16 KJV

[1] And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: [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 ; [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: [4] But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. [5] And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. [6] The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. [7] And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. [8] And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. [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. [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. [11] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. [12] And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. [13] The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. [14] But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. [15] And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. [16] And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
