Isaiah 9:6-
Christus Victor
Pastor Bill Moved this weekend
Now is the time where Christ Loves me, Even in the midst of trouble and sin
Pharoah sat on a throne where he was the center of 9 spokes each of which was a god of: the Nile, Frogs, Light, etc... the tenth god God killed was Pharoah himself by taking away his son (the son of "god") who could not resurrect
Nebuchnessar - God makes him like a beast, then after a time God restored his reason and allowed him to see God rightly as the only glorious one
He is then restored to his throne with a right view of God, "those who walk in pride God will humble"
Isaiah is saying ther will be a warrior king a mighty conqueror is coming to deliver the people of God
God's Battle Fronts: Who God is Fighting
Creation:
Even under the curse, the earth is still glorifying God
It points to the Creator
God doesn't want us to settle for a small thing like creation, rather than the Creator
National/Political/relational Systems
God wants us to live in such a way that if God doesn't show up we will be totally freaked out, He wants us to be dependent on God alone
There is no better way to survive, we shouldn't live in such a way as to insure ourselves against the possibility that God won't show up
The Law given by God was meant to show the nations what living rightly with God's heart looks like
God even uses an Evil nation to discipline my people
Spiritual Realm:
No more death because there is no more power from Sin
Right now there is no reason for me to be reserved in my affection for Jesus, Right now there is nothing in between me and Jesus_Not even my Sin
Right now I need to rest in the fact that I am in his arms right now
Right now Jesus is giving me a piece of his kingdom
