december 25 golden text glory to god in the highest and on earth peace good will toward men luke- 2 14 approach to the lesson at this happy season of the year our hearts turn once more to the wonderful story of the coming into the world of gods beloved son our lord jesus christ whose advent in grace was predicted so definitely hundreds of years before his birth isaiah lived in troublous times and his heart must often have been cast down as he con templated the perplexities faced by his nation and the seemingly inter minable wars and sorrows of the world around but the spirit of god enabled him to look on with prophetic vision to the time when one should appear who should bring in an era of unbroken peace and everlasting righteousness it is clear that he who was thus to be manifested was both god and man for to no merely human personality could the terms be applied winch the prophet here uses he had already spoken of the virgins son whose name was to be called immanuel which means god with us isa 714 we know from many other scriptures that there were to be two advents of this promised redeemer god foresaw that man would reject him at his first coming but he decreed that at his second coming no question could be raised as to whether or not israel and the nations would receive him when he came the first time he presented himself as the promised king but his own people cried we have no king but caesar john 1915 so they refused to acknowledge his claims or submit to his authority but when he comes again he will appear in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not god 2 thess 18 throughout the long centuries between these two advents the gospel of the grace of god is sounding out and all men everywhere are called upon to repent and believe the glad tidings apart from personal faith in him who suffered and died to make propitiation for our sins there is no hope of salvation acts 412 it is vain to profess to honor him by celebrating his birth while refusing to trust in his atoning work bethlehem was but the first step down from the throne of glory to the cross of cal vary he himself tells us definitely that he came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many matt 2028 tho historical setting in the reign of ahaz king of judah palestine had become to a great extent a buffer state between the ancient and somewhat decad ent kingdom of egypt and the rising power of the- assyrian empire in his desperation ahaz first sought help from egypt only to find that he was relying upon a broken reed isa 366 isaiah protested against any alliances with either of these dominions and foretold the coming of a deliverer who would save judah from her grave perplexities he made it clear however that deliverance would not come until some years after both ahaz and the king of israel had passed away isa 7 16 verse by verse isa 9 2 the people that walk ed in darkness have seen a great light the

the first verse makes clear but it is truly descriptive of the world as a whole before the advent of him who is the light of life he it is who illuminates all men by manifesting their true character in the light of his infinite holiness verse 3 thou has multiplied the nation and increased the joy there seems no good reason for introducing the word not as in the av the rv omits it and this seems to give the true sense of the hebrew text and is in full accordance with the rest of the verse verse 4 thou has broken the yoke and the rod of his oppressor as in the days of israels oppression under the midianites when god raised up gideon to be their deliverer so in his own time he raised up christ to bring his people out of sins bondage verse 5 every battle of the warrior is with confused noise bloody warfare and cruel strife have cursed the world because of sins ravages but the prophet fore saw the coming of the one who was to destroy the effects of sin and bring in lasting peace verse g a child born a son given by these terms the prophet distinguished between the humanity and the deity of our blessed lord as to his human nature he was the virgins child but as concerned the mystery of his divine personality he was the eternal son of the father given in grace for the redemption of a lost world the names applied to him show that he was more than man these names should probably be understood as a series of coup lets he is the wonderful counsel lor the mighty god the everlast ing father and the peaceful prince titles such as these can only be applied rightfully to one who is divine the expression everlasting father might be rendered father of the ages it identifies our lord as the one who has dominion over all the dispen sations of god verse 7 of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end his is to be an ever lasting kingdom the peace which he established shall remain un broken not only through all time but throughout eternity this kingdom will be ushered in when he leaves the fathers throne which he now occupies and takes his own throne even the throne of his father david upon which he is to reign throughout the millen nial age isa 11 1 there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of jesse this corroborates what we have just noted it is as the son of david that he will take possession of the kingdom and reign in righteousness over israel and the nations verse 2 the spirit of the lord that is of jehovah shall rest upon him in this verse we have the explanation of the mysterious symbol used in the book of revelation where the lamb is said to possess the seven spirits of god it is the one holy spirit in the sevenfold plentitude of his power as illustrated in the golden candlestick in the holy place of old the central shaft would answer to the expression the spirit of jehovah the other three shafts holding six additional lamps picture in order first the spirit of wisdom and under standing second the spirit of counsel and might third the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the lord that is of reverence verse 3 quick understanding in the fear of the lord all that jesus said and did while he was here on earth was in the energy of the holy spirit in his humil iation he chose not to act in his own omnipotence and omniscience as the eternal god ho took the servants place being under the control of the holy spirit as the obedient one so when at last he takes over the government of this world he will judgl not according to merely human standards but as the representative of the divine government verse 4 with righteousness shall he judge and reprove with equity unlike the many proud and haughty potentates who have exercised authority over the nations he will rule the world with perfect righteousness those who in the beginning shall dare to oppose his authority will bo des troyed as he wields the iron rod of inflexible equity all who dare to defy him shall be slain by the breath of his lips this is in

be revealed from heaven in flaming nre taking vengeance on them that know not god and that obey not the gospel in that day the promise made to him by the father as recorded in psalm 2 shall be fulfilled when he shall smite the nations with a rod of iron and break them in pieces like a potters vessel verse 5 righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins and faith fulness the girdle of his reins what a glorious clay it will be when after earths long centuries of oppression and misrule gods king shall take over the affairs of the world and rule mankind- in accordance with the righteousness of gods holy word and the faith fulness of his own divine charac ter the same lord jesus who once came to suffer is the one who is coming again to reign in him all gods promises of blessing for the earth shall find their consumma tion even as he declared to his disciples on the evening of the day of his resurrection that all things written in the law of moses in the psalms and in the prophets con cerning him must be fulfilled luke 2441 the heart of tho lesson the prophets of old predicted the sufferings of christ and the glory which should follow they foretold his birth of a virgin in bethlehem the city of david his lowly life of perfect obedience to the fathers will his rejection by his own nation and by the gentile world his sacrificial death and his resurrection and ascension to heaven they also foretold his coming again in power and glory to set up the kingdom of god in righteousness over all this world both these advents are predicted in trte passages we have been con sidering the first has been ful filled in every detail the second will have complete fulfilment in gods appointed time central feed store e r daniels ph 277 stouffville marmill fattening
