CHAPTER 42
The Servant King: Jesus
|
Isaiah Chapter 42 verse 1-4 |
|
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
|
Quoted in Matthew 12:17-20 as fulfilled in Jesus.
“…voice to be heard in the street…” - Jesus would not cause a riot or mob mentality to ensure He had a chance to speak his rights. Which happens frequently in society.
“A bruised reed…” – reed is so easy to break or crush
“…smoking flax…” – a wick floating in an empty lamp used up of oil, the wick will smoke and be useless until more oil is added. Christ will not use His power to destroy enemies until needed. Beware the Second Coming!
|
Isaiah Chapter 42 verse 5-9 |
|
Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. |
God’s MISSION PLAN for sending HIS SON JESUS
|
Isaiah Chapter 42 verse 10-12 |
|
Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

Giving Glory to God
THE SECOND COMING
|
Isaiah Chapter 42 verse 13-15 |
|
The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
