2 | what does the scripture mean? | Is 9:6 | Ray | 120507 | ||
Hi tip, Here we have Scriptures of comparison and contrast. Matthew has Jesus saying that He did not come peace, but a sword; a sword that would make even family members enemies. Isaiah says that His government would be one of peace and His kingdom would have no end. I think that we have to keep in mind that the kingdom of Jesus was not of this world. Matthew 10:34, "...I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set man against..." Isaiah 8:6, "...Prince of Peace..." A look at two translations of the Scriptures will point out the two kingdoms and how people will regard them. NASB, Isaiah 9:7, "There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over **his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this." NKJ, Isaiah 9:7, "Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over **His kingdom,..." We are looking forward to the kingdom of God, but as it is we are still on this earth. From the heart, Ray |
