They will also attack the nations to the east of Israel. 14 But they will join together to attack the Philistines in the west. 13 Ephraim will no longer be jealous of Judah. Yes, he will bring back Judah's exiles from all over the earth. He will bring together Israel's people that their enemies took away. He will bring them back from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath and from countries near the sea.ġ2 The Lord will lift up a clear sign for the nations to see. He will lift up his powerful hand to rescue his people who are still alive. After meditating on Isaiah 11:2, the only place where they are listed, all I could determine was that there were six of them, so the seven spirits of God did not make sense to me. The place where he lives as king will be wonderful.ġ1 And on that day, the Lord God will bring his people back once again. I had never heard a teaching on the seven spirits of God, but as I kept seeing the terminology in the book of Revelation, I wondered what it meant. They will come to him, so that he leads them. He will be like a clear sign to all nations. Instead, people will know the Lord all over the earth, as water fills the whole sea.ġ0 On that day, King David's descendant, the root of Jesse, will appear. A young child may even put his hand into the hole of a dangerous snake.ĩ Nothing will hurt or destroy anything else anywhere on my holy mountain. Lions will eat grass, as cows do.Ĩ If a baby plays near the hole where a snake lives, he will be safe. Even their children will lie down side by side. He will always be honest and true.Ħ When he is king, wolves will live beside lambs! Leopards will lie down with young goats! Young cows and lions will feed together, and a young child will take care of them!ħ Cows and bears will feed together. 5 He will wear justice like a belt round his clothes. The words that he speaks will bring death to wicked people. He will have authority everywhere in the land. He will decide to do what is right for all the helpless people. He will not judge them because of what he hears about them with his ears.Ĥ But he will judge poor people with true justice. He will not judge people because of what he sees with his eyes. The Spirit will cause him to know the Lordģ To obey the Lord will make him very happy. It still has roots that go into the ground.Ģ The Spirit of the Lord will be with him. The stump of a tree is the part that remains in the ground after the tree has been cut down. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: 11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.11:1 Jesse was the father of King David. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 7 In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 6 Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. ![]()
