The Reign of the

Messiah

Isaiah 11

1 Peter 2:21

For to this you have been called,

because Christ also suffered for you,

leaving you an example, so that

you might follow in his steps.

The Reign of the MessiahIsaiah 11:1 - 4

There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.

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 the fear of the Lord.3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.

He shall not judge by what his eyes see,or decide disputes by what his ears hear,

4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.

some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to

their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.

Mark 3:1-6


“ And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away

from them, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made.17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is
