ISAIAH
CHAPTER
11
1. A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. 2. The spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. 3. His delight shall be in the fear of the LORD.
(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 11 verses 1 to 3)
After having endured such tribulations, You still chose to deliver us from our situations of Egypt. For a period of time You sent descendants through Adam and Eve to Abraham among many mothers, At times, You sent us and are still sending us Your prophets, however when the time was proper You intervened by taking on Yourself the human form. Oh God many years before You was actually born, Your name was already proclaimed by Your prophets. There has not been anybody on earth whose birth was proclaimed years before one's birth. This alone is enough evidence that is true and reliable of Your existence, not that I needed this proof oh God Amen. During our times 2016 You are still intervening oh God my Father and for this I greatly thank You. Amen.
4. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear; 4. but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. 5. Righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins.
(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 11 verses 4 to 5)
Oh God, my Father there is none like You. Nobody is as just as You and nobody views the world as You do. How we come to our conclusions may always be influenced by our own selfish bias, but You are free from this self-serving bias and are therefore truly just Amen. May we be like You, my God and Father.
6. The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together and a little child shall lead them.
(Book of Prophets Chapter 11 verse 6)
Oh God almighty and Father by Your coming You promised us a reign or state of peace, where the wild and the peaceful and humble will find common grounds to inhabit the same land and environments without being a threat to each other. I pray oh God that You also give us the gift of taming those areas in our lives that are still not tamed due to past hurts and scars amen.
7. The cow and the bear shall graze, their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child put its hand on the adder's den. 9. They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
(Book of Prophets Chapter 11 verses 7 to 9)
Oh God my Father this is indeed a prophecy which means that it is yet to come, however in truth Your son did come but we are still aiming for this state of peace. Sadly enough although there are many places that are at peace others are still in a state of war. However in life, we have the state that we are living in and the state that we desire to be in. May heaven and peace on earth be a common desire oh God my Father!
10. On that day the root of Jesse shall stand as a signal to the peoples; the nations shall inquire of him, and his dwelling shall be glorious.
(Book of Prophets Chapter 11 verse 10)
Oh, Jesus, You were to be the sign from the root of Jesse which was to be Your human descent. You were to be a signpost for us to to follow, a dwelling place for all who seek both physical and emotional comfort. This was part of Your plan for our salvation to be a loving God who would offer us salvation, security , nd consolation by means of Your passion and the Bible that You left us as reference points along with the Roman Catholic Church. Amen. Thank You for not leaving us orphans in this world Amen.
11. On that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Ethiopia, and from the coastlands of the sea. 12. He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 11 verses 11 to 12)
Oh God, my Father I know how precious Your people are to You for even myself a human have love for my family. I understand how You wish that Your sons and daughters return back to the lands that You had long since promised them however due to factors such as war and politics it took longer for them to claim these lands as their own.

13. The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart, the hostility of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, and Judah shall not be hostile towards Ephraim.
(Book of Prophets Isaiah Chapter 11 verse 13)
Oh God my Father the issue of jealousy is a very delicate issue. I am aware that you are jealous for our love time and attention. You would like to be our main preoccupation, however we invest our time and money in activities that are not of pleasure to You because they drive us away from You. Oh God my Father I have the same issue with my wife. She is in constant contact with another man, who used to share his prayers with me and I used to publish them on this blog. She calls him on skype morning and night and cannot sleep if she does not give him her good morning and good night, even during the day she is in contact with him via skype call. I feel hurt by the fact that there is another man between us and I have warned her that if this relationship does not stop I will go to a lawyer and file for a separation. Although I have this blog online I have never started relationships with women online and I consider wife's behaviour as being both unfair and unfaithful. Oh God I place this issue before You, may You direct me so that I will make the correct decision Amen.
14. But they shall swoop down on the backs of the Philistines in the west, together they shall plunder the people of the east. They shall put forth their hand against Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites shall obey them.
(Book of Isaiah Chapter 11 verse 14)
Oh God my Father, You are able to humble those who are against us and make them our subjects. In a work setting You are able to grant us a promotion that puts us in a position over our enemies, who may have made our lives a misery. However negative actions are not to be used against others, even though they may have been used against us by the same people Amen.
15. And the LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the sea of Egypt; and will wave his hand over the River with his scorching wind; and will split it into seven channels, and make a way to cross on foot; 16. so there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant that is left of his people, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.
(Book of Isaiah Chapter 11 verses 15 to 16)
Oh God as You planned to pave the way for the remnant of Israel to return back to the land that was promised to them and that they lost as a consequence of their sins which resulted in a period of exile, You will pave the way for me and other sinners so that we will also have access to our heavenly home. Amen
Oh God my Father I would like to end this chapter with the following prayer:
Oh God my Father Your coming was indeed the opening to the gate leading for our salvation. As humans we are also the remnant of the New Testament and also part of Your people Israel. I pray oh God that we wil lbe found worthy to inherit a place in our heavenly home Amen.
4. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear; 4. but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. 5. Righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins.
