]]> It is hard to imagine the prophesies in Isaiah being written 700 years before Jesus, but when a young Bedouin shepherd found a scroll of Isaiah in a cave near the Dead Sea, predating Jesus by 150 years, this was pretty sound proof that these prophecies were not added after the fact. By the time of Isaiah, the kingship of the nation was a wreck. How could God fulfill His promise to David; that Israel will have great rest forever (2 Samuel ⁠7:10-14, 18-20⁠). Isaiah wrote: after great destruction, after the forest is leveled, there will be a root, a shoot will rise up that will lead in the perfect spirit of the Lord (⁠Isaiah 11:1-10⁠). This can only be Jesus. He told us His kingdom is here by quoting Isaiah 61 (⁠Luke 4:16-21⁠). But He stopped short of saying that the entire prophesy was fulfilled. Jesus is our king now, but there is still more to come, an eternal glory to come.

]]> God gave King David a promise. God would establish a kingdom and on the throne will be a David’s son (⁠1 Chronicles 17:1-15⁠). David waited. He waited many years. In his humble poem (⁠Psalm 27⁠), from experience David states, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let our heart take courage; wait for the Lord.” He wanted to honor God and build a temple, but God said no, that will be the task of his son (⁠1 Chronicles 17:16-27⁠). Still, the prophecy of David’s offspring in God’s eternal kingdom did not come to pass (⁠2 Samuel 7:28-29⁠). But God’s words are identical with His actions – it will come to pass. The King, the fulfillment of the David covenant is fulfilled in Jesus Christ (⁠Luke 1:26-33⁠). What a joyous event! Yet, we still wait. The King has come and eternal Kingdom has started, but we are still in a time of transformation. In this time, with a surrendered heart like David has taught us, we get to enjoy Him now and forever (⁠2 Corinthians 3:18⁠).
