In Isaiah 32 we read about a king that will rule with fairness.
1 A king will rule with fairness,
and officials will rule with justice.
2 Then each ruler will be like a shelter from the wind
and a hiding place from the rain.
They will be like streams on parched ground
and the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
3 Then the vision of those who can see won’t be blurred,
and the ears of those who can hear will pay attention.
4 Then those who are reckless will begin to understand,
and those who stutter will speak quickly and clearly.
We read about a great problem in Judah that will happen in less than one year:
10 In a little less than a year
you overconfident women will tremble,
because the grape harvest will fail
and no fruit will be brought in from the fields.
but something spectacular will happen:
14 Palaces will be deserted.
Noisy cities will be abandoned.
Fortresses and watchtowers will become permanent caves.
They will be a delight for wild donkeys and pastures for flocks
15 until the Ruach is poured on us from on high.
Then the wilderness will be turned into a fertile field,
and the fertile field will be considered a forest.
16 Then justice will live in the wilderness,
and righteousness will be at home in the fertile field.
17 Then an act of righteousness will bring about peace,
calm, and safety forever.
As a Christian, I understand that Jesus, the king, is the One who fufills verse 17. His act of rightewsness brings peace for me and for mankind.
