Isaiah 9:1-7
A son is Given
Context that Isaiah is writting to
Assiria is dominating the Northern kingdom of Israel
A brutal dictator places fish hooks into the Israelites mouths and marches them East through the desert dragging them
The time is one of gloom where there is no hope
Hope God gives to Isaiah
There will be a time where Israel will again be an object of God's Glory
God will not act as in the past where He parts seas, He will come in person
The son will come with the amazing name and power to save
It doesn't make sense to the prophet, they only knew that at a later scene the conquering king would come
Kings in my life:
Sin committed against us
Lies that I ive within
Fears that paralyze me
Sexual sin - Terrible guilt
Pastor Bill's Daughter
Rebellion and fleeing leads to tyranny and a hard life bound to a king of circumstances and finances
Me as king - empty
Jesus as King - subdueing us , ruling and defendingus from tyrannical kings of this world
This is the picture of Jesus that Isaiah gives
Our responce is to declare Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords in our generosity
