Isaiah 11: The Righteous Branch and the Coming Kingdom

Author: Dave Jenkins
Show: Reading the Bible Daily with Dave

Show Summary

Isaiah 11 gives us one of the clearest and most beautiful messianic prophecies in the Old Testament. From the seemingly dead stump of Jesse, God promises to bring forth a righteous King from David’s line. This King is filled with the Spirit of the Lord, rules with perfect justice, gathers God’s people from the nations, and will bring lasting peace and restoration.

In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains how Isaiah 11 finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ alone—the Righteous Branch, the Son of David, and the King whose kingdom will fill all the earth.
