Scripture focus
Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9:7 — KJV
His government. Daniel foretells that the kingdom of Christ will break in pieces all the kingdoms of the earth “and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever” (Dan. 2:44; cf. Rev. 11:15). The angel Gabriel declared that “of his kingdom there shall be no end” (Luke 1:33).
The throne of David. David was a type of Christ, and it is through Christ that the throne of David will be established forever (Gen. 49:10; 2 Sam. 7:11-13; Ps. 89:3, 4, 29, 36; 132:11, 12; Jer. 23:5; 33:17; Luke 1:32; see on Deut. 18:15; 1 Chron. 28:7; Matt. 1:1).
With judgment and with justice. Literally, “with justice and with righteousness” (see chs. 11:4, 5; 16:5).
The zeal. Why will the Lord do all this? He is moved by holy and ardent zeal, prompted by a spirit of love. His is a love that cannot remain inactive, which, when He thinks of men lost in sin, prompts Him to works of grace and glory. There is no stronger power than love, nothing that can move a man to greater sacrifice or more valiant service. The all-embracing love of Christ moves Him to rule with a spirit of unselfish service, “with justice and with righteousness.”
