Immediately following a string of writing
foreshadowing all of the destruction that is to come from the Lord’s anger,
chapter 11 serves as quite the contrast of hope for the future King.

Verse 1: A new Branch (Capitol B) will grow out
of the stump of the line of Jesse, bearing new fruit.
-
Verse 2: The spirit of the Lord will rest on
Him, a Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and fear of
the Lord.
-
Verses 3-5: He will be obedient, just, powerful,
righteous, and true.
-
Verse 9: There will be no hurt or destruction in
God’s creation on that day.
-
Verse 10: Jesus will bring a “banner of
salvation.”
o Ancient
armies during warfare carried a banner with them to communicate with and rally
troops. It announced their central message, why they were there. Jesus’ banner
was that of salvation.

Verse 11: We see Isaiah again mention the
remnant of His people, as he did in Chapter 10 verse 20-22. Last time he was
talking about how only that remnant will return to God, even though everyone
else goes the other way, and now he talks about how God will reach out his hand
to that remnant that returns.

Verse 15: Isaiah makes reference to the
Israelites initial exodus from bondage in Egypt to create an analogy to the
coming exodus that will be from their sin and wickedness that will be through
this new Branch of Jesse.
