From Isaiah:
Then a shoot will spring up from Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
The 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.
He will delight in the fear of the LORD.
He will not judge by what His eyes see, nor make a decision by what His ears hear. But with righteousness He will judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth. With the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
Righteousness will be the belt about His loins, and faithfulness the belt around His waist.
And the wolf will dwell with the lamb. The leopard will lie down with the young goat. The calf and the young lion and the fatling together.
A little boy will lead them.
The cow and bear will graze. Their young will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like an ox. The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra. The weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den. They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain.
For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:1-9.
In that day you will say, a “Give thanks to the LORD, call on His Name. Make known His deeds among the peoples. Make them remember that His Name is exalted. Isaiah 12:4.
Thus I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud, and abase the haughtiness of the ruthless. Isaiah: 13:11
By His mere Word. The articulation of an eyebrow. A silent exhale. These are enough for Him to judge evil and totally eradicate it.
The cacophony of insolent voices raised against the knowledge of God will not endure. They will be silenced. All will bow their knee. All will confess. The knowledge of God will flood the chasms as an ocean.
How great is our God. How infinitely greater is His power than any other. None can withstand Him. He will set all aright. None can resist. Why anyone would want to is a mystery. But apparently some do.
So great is His power that even expressed as a child, He reigns supreme over all.
So complete is His rule that the terror from animal instincts is subdued to complete peace and safety.
Do not fret over what appears to be the reign of evil. It will not last. Instead exalt in the greatness of God, and look expectantly to the day when He puts all under His feet.
LORD, forgive my anxiousness at seeing the world haughty and rebellious before You. This has not escaped Your notice. You are not slow as some count slowness. But Your are slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, that you may save many and turn them and rescue them from evil. Help me continually abide in You, trust in You. Help me see Your plan for the end, and not be unduly impressed by the temporary influence of evil that You are temporarily allowing to have its day. Help me be surrendered, live, move and breathe in the full awareness of Your sovereignty, Your infinite greatness, power and wisdom, and the certainty of You accomplishing Your ultimate purposes.
