Isaiah 9:7
Isaiah 9:7
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.
Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end; upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth, even forever. This prophecy from Isaiah 9:7 speaks to the everlasting nature of Christ’s reign. His government will not only increase but will also be characterized by peace, justice, and righteousness. The prophecy emphasizes that Christ will sit on the throne of David, a promise that points to the fulfillment of God’s covenant with David—an eternal kingdom ruled by the Messiah. This reign will be one of perfect order, established with judgment and justice. Unlike earthly rulers who may fail to bring peace or administer justice, Christ’s reign will be marked by the perfect fulfillment of these qualities. His reign will be eternal, and there will be no end to His kingdom. For believers, this prophecy brings hope, knowing that Christ will bring peace and justice to the world in ways that no human ruler can. As we await His return, we are called to reflect His kingdom values in our lives, seeking peace and justice in the world around us.
