Prophecy
This chapter opens with prophecy of the coming Christ child who, though he is not named as such, is obviously the child that is to be born and shall rule upon the throne of David. Those who have suffered will not be in pain (v. 1). The people in darkness saw a great light (v. 2). This light would increase their joy (v. 3). He came to deliver all people from their slavery to sin. (vv. 4-5)
Isaiah records five things about the coming Messiah (Quoted in Matt. 4:15-16)
He is to be born a child (v. 6) - We now know that this prophesy was fulfilled in Bethlehem.
He will rule over God’s people (v. 6) - This will happen during the millennium as Christ rules and reigns upon the earth.
He will have four descriptive names (v. 6)
Wonderful
Counselor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
He will be seated on David’s throne (v. 7) - His rule will have no end.
“The zeal of the Lord will perform this“ (v. 7) - This means that the coming of the Lord depends on God and not on Israel.
Application
God has a plan for when things are going to happen and nothing that man does will change this. He has told us many of the things that are going to happen but He has not told us when they will happen. For this reason I need to live like He is coming back today.
