According to Isaiah 11, we read the Messianic Expectation that was given us in Isaiah 7:14 where the King Messiah is ruling and offers peace, and life to a dead country, and victory over the oppressive empires that are coming against Judah and Jerusalem (i.e., Assyria, Babylon, etc.). We note the continued theme of Israel\u2019s lack of trust in the Lord, and that following Assyria\u2019s destruction, the remnant of Israel will return to the ways of the Lord God Almighty and to the Land. Isaiah 11 is specifically related to the Messianic Expectation of God sending His Messiah to save the people. Here Isaiah emphasizes three things about the Messianic figure (I) His divine appointment as ruler (Isaiah 11:1-3), (ii) that he will rule in righteousness and justice (Isaiah 11:3-5), and (iii) the provisions of safety for His people as a result of His ruling over them (Isaiah 11:6-9). We note that this Messiah ruler will not consider himself privileged from pride. The anointed one of God will have a sense of responsibility for God&#8217;s people to lead them on the ways of God in righteousness, holiness, and truth. This divinely appointed king will not be just any ordinary king, but his coming and rule will be linked to the return of Israel. (Isaiah 11:10-16) This king is the chosen one of God who literally brings with Him the blessing of our Father who is in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide2-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide2-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide2-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide2-2-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide2-2-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide2-2-1068x601.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide2-2-747x420.png 747w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide2-2.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u05e1\u05e4\u05e8 \u05d9\u05e9\u05e2\u05d9\u05d4 \u05e4\u05e8\u05e7 \u05d9\u05d0<br><\/strong>\u05d0 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8\u05e6\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d7\u05b9\u05d8\u05b6\u05e8 \u05de\u05b4\u05d2\u05bc\u05b6\u05d6\u05b7\u05e2 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05d9 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05e6\u05b6\u05e8 \u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b8\u05e8\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b6\u05d4:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaiah 11:1 states, <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">\u201cAnd there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, (<\/span><\/em>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8\u05e6\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d7\u05b9\u05d8\u05b6\u05e8 \u05de\u05b4\u05d2\u05bc\u05b6\u05d6\u05b7\u05e2 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05d9<em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">) and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: (<\/span><\/em>\u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05e6\u05b6\u05e8 \u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b8\u05e8\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b6\u05d4<em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">)\u201d<\/span><\/em> Here Isaiah is speaking of the smallest and newest growth of a plant, the \u05d7\u05b9\u05d8\u05b6\u05e8 \u05de\u05b4\u05d2\u05bc\u05b6\u05d6\u05b7\u05e2 is the shoot that comes out of the stump. This reminds of what happens when a tree is topped (cut off) from the stump at the top grows many smaller branches. This is the idea here, that Judah has become almost dead, the proverbial stump, and a branch shall proceed from that stump which will lead to the destruction of Assyria. It is important to point out that here Judah and Jerusalem are being cut down. But because of the blessing and miracle of God, life will once again proceed from destruction. On the other hand, Assyria was destroyed in 609 B.C. by Babylon, Media, and Persia, and nothing ever arose from the Assyrian stump because they did not have a covenant with God in heaven. Here we read prophetically through Isaiah, that the Lord will miraculously raise up Judah and Jerusalem, the restoration of the nation. Jesse (\u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05d9) is a reference to Judah, and most likely to the covenant of David. The point is that the majesty of David\u2019s kingdom would not be what brings back the nation, but the promises of God will do this, as the restoration of the nation is a gift of God through His mercy and grace, it is an act of faithfulness on behalf of God to His people. These things remind us of the words of Jeremiah and Zechariah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide3-3-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide3-3-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide3-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide3-3-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide3-3-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide3-3-1068x601.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide3-3-747x420.png 747w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide3-3.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u05e1\u05e4\u05e8 \u05d9\u05e8\u05de\u05d9\u05d4 \u05e4\u05e8\u05e7 \u05db\u05d2<br><\/strong>\u05d4 \u05d4\u05b4\u05e0\u05bc\u05b5\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05e0\u05b0\u05d0\u05bb\u05dd-\u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b7\u05d4\u05b2\u05e7\u05b4\u05de\u05b9\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05d5\u05b4\u05d3 \u05e6\u05b6\u05de\u05b7\u05d7 \u05e6\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b8\u05dc\u05b7\u05da\u05b0 \u05de\u05b6\u05dc\u05b6\u05da\u05b0 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc \u05d5\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05e9\u05b8\u05b9\u05d4 \u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05d8 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e6\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Jeremiah 23:5<br><\/strong>23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

(KJV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We note reading the context that Peter states that suffering should not be by reason of sin, but for the sake of righteousness! The reference to this verse is to the Spirit of God resting upon His people. The examples of this from the Tanakh, are according to the Torah, according to Bamidbar \/ Numbers 11:25, God took some of the Spirit who was on Moses and placed the Spirit on the seventy elders. As the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied. We also read about Bezalel in Shemot \/ Exodus 31:3 that his craftsmanship was due to the Spirit of God upon him. We read in Judges 14:6 of the spirit resetting upon Samson. We read also that Saul and David also received the Spirit of the Lord (1 Samuel 10:10 and 16:13). Note that this phrase was also considered the divine influence to live a righteous and blessed life (Isaiah 32:14-15, 44:3, Ezekiel 36:25-27). We note that with Isaiah 11:2 juxtaposed to 11:1, the expected coming of the righteous one will be so in the power of God by His presence and His Spirit resting upon him. This describes the divine empowerment of leadership and the calling upon the life of the leader who will guide God\u2019s people into all holiness and righteousness and truth. This is why the Messiah must be empowered by God to do these things, such that He would be successful to complete the work and task that is set before him. The point of the Messianic figure will be to direct the people to be faithful to God in heaven. The point is that the Messiah will guide us into the correct motivation and accountability before God. It is by our faith in the Messiah, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God, that enables us to be fully conscious of our relationship with God and with men, and to know what is expected of us. From Isaiah\u2019s perspective, we will trust in the Lord, act with integrity and justice, and not be self-serving but respectful to others so as not to oppress the weak and not live our lives in pride. This is the power in which the Promised One comes, the Messiah, to bear testimony of God and to save those who would place their faith and trust in Him, and in God our Father in heaven.

These descriptions sound a lot like Paul&#8217;s exhortation in Ephesians 6:14-15. Righteousness and faithfulness are two qualities of God that are central to the scripture and our lives.

The Figurative approach means that these things describe a time of peace that is purely associated with evil being removed under the rule and reign of the Messianic king.

(NIV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Here Paul proposes the idea of a future expectation of redemption, not just for the individual, but for all of creation itself to be set free from the bondage to death and decay. The idea is that at this future time, the world also will be brought into the freedom and glory that God gives to His children. We note the child leading the peaceful beast and the carnivore, providing us with a child theme, similar to that which we have read in previous chapters (Isaiah 7-9), where the child is the one chosen by God to rule and bring peace.

The poisonous snake or asp is symbolic of the snake that strikes, and the end result is death, especially for a small child.

This is the tell-tale-sign of those who are God\u2019s holy and treasured people. This verse according to Isaiah 11:9 may lead to the interpretation of the reasons why there is no death on the mountain of God, because this place is inhabited by His holy people! We note how submission of our lives to the Lord, and the peace that the Messiah brings by the indwelling of God\u2019s Holy Spirit, these things produce an environment where men will have care and concern from one another. This peace will extend worldwide, there will be safety and worry will be removed because of knowledge and understanding of the ways of God. The emphasis here is upon the Lord working in the lives of His people, and the examples given, of God\u2019s power to work in the animal kingdom as well, is significant. The animals who instinctively kill and destroy, like the lion and the bear, the Lord God will change the animal behavior to that of peace, righteousness, and holiness. Note this draws a parallel to the three levels of spirituality, basar \u2192 nefesh \u2192 neshamah. Here the Lord God is supernaturally transforming those who live in the flesh (basar) to those who live according to the spirit (neshamah) being able to hear the word of the Lord God in heaven (prophecy) and apply the Torah and all of Scripture to their lives for the glory of God! It is interesting the Messianic parallels that we find in the NT text, as the Messiah Yeshua bringing all of these things through the power of our Father in heaven via the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rabbinic-literature-on-isaiah-11-1-9\"><strong>Rabbinic Literature on Isaiah 11:1-9<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Targum Jonathan is a rabbinic interpretation of the book of Isaiah.

multiplied in the earth. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall dwell with the kid; and the calf, and the lion, and the fatling together; and a little sucking child shall be leading them. 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed together, their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put forth his hand on the glistering pupil of the eyes of the cockatrice. 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the fear of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

Also, this excludes Hezekiah from being the Messiah, the one whom Ibn Ezra and others tend to suggest in order to reconcile the child king narrative according to Isaiah 7-9. Remember, the reason the rabbinic literature tends to direct the readers to Hezekiah and others is due to the striking resemblance (parallels) to Yeshua the Messiah.

This line of reasoning follows from commentary upon Isaiah 11:1 and Jeremiah 23:6. According to Romans 15:12, Paul connects Yeshua descending from Jesse to the hope of the Gentiles citing Isaiah 11:10 saying, <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">&#8220;And again, Isaiah says: &#8216;There shall be a root of Jesse; and He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope.'&#8221;<\/span><\/em> Jesse&#8217;s female ancestors include three non Jewish women. The first was Tamar, a Canaanite, the midrashic literature claims was a convert. (see Bereshit \/ Genesis 38). The second is Rahab (see Joshua 2; Matthew 1:5), and Ruth the Moabitess (Ruth 4:13-22). Because these were Jesse&#8217;s relatives, they are also Yeshua&#8217;s ancestors. Thus, Paul argues that Yeshua became a servant <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">&#8220;that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy&#8221;<\/span><\/em> (Romans 15:9). The Jewish commentary Shenei Luchot HaBerit, Torah Shebikhtav, Pinchas, Torah Ohr 13 states the following concerning Isaiah 11:1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide17-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide17-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide17-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide17-1-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide17-1-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide17-1-1068x601.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide17-1-747x420.png 747w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Slide17-1.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Shenei Luchot HaBerit, Torah Shebikhtav, Pinchas, Torah Ohr 13<br><\/strong>The following Midrash will illustrate what I have in mind: &#8220;Moses said to G\u2013d that the man who would be appointed his successor should &#8220;possess&#8221; the mind of all six hundred thousand Jews, since each one of them must be ready to accept him as his personal leader, seeing that no two Jews are of the same mind. G\u2013d said to Moses: &#8220;Since you have spoken thus, I will show you all the future leaders of the Jewish people, all the Judges and Prophets I shall appoint for them from this time until the time of the Resurrection. Rabbi Simon said that this is the meaning of Deut.34,1: \u05d5\u05d9\u05e8\u05d0\u05d4\u05d5 \u05d4&#8217; \u05d0\u05ea \u05db\u05dc \u05d4\u05d0\u05e8\u05e5, &#8220;G\u2013d showed him the whole earth.&#8221; He showed him Joshua who stood beneath him, Othniel who took over leadership of the Jewish people from Joshua, etc. G\u2013d told Moses that all those people were of one mind and one spirit. Concerning what Moses had demanded at the very beginning however, namely, a man whose mind would evoke a 100% positive response from every Jew, such a man would not arise until the arrival of the Messiah of whom Isaiah (11,1) has written: &#8220;But a shoot shall grow out of Yishai, a twig shall sprout from his stock. The spirit of the Lord shall alight upon him, a spirit of wisdom and insight.&#8221; This is also what is referred to in Job 28,25: \u05dc\u05e2\u05e9\u05d5\u05ea \u05dc\u05e8\u05d5\u05d7 \u05de\u05e9\u05e7\u05dc, &#8220;who can determine the weight of the spirit&#8221; (evaluate correctly the mind of every person). The Midrash describes Moses as saying to G\u2013d that only He knows the minds of all His creatures. Since G\u2013d is aware that each Jew has a mind of his own, seeing that he, Moses, is about to depart from the scene, he asks G\u2013d to appoint someone who is able to put up with all these opinions represented by the Jewish nation. It is puzzling why such a well-meant request should be answered by G\u2013d in the manner described by the Midrash. Why did G\u2013d post-pone fulfilling Moses&#8217; request until the coming of the Messiah?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It is interesting how in Jewish thought the idea of the Messiah (the anointed one of God) will possess the mind of six hundred thousand Jews. The concept here is that these people will accept him as their personal leader. Note that these people are unique individuals, and each person must place their faith in him. In addition, he will be given knowledge of all the future leaders of Israel, from the time of Moshe until the time of the Resurrection. This is brought into context of all the world using the Torah text according to Devarim \/ Deuteronomy 34,1: \u05d5\u05d9\u05e8\u05d0\u05d4\u05d5 \u05d4&#8217; \u05d0\u05ea \u05db\u05dc \u05d4\u05d0\u05e8\u05e5 <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">&#8220;G\u2013d showed him the whole earth.&#8221;<\/span><\/em> These things are based upon Isaiah 11:1-2 <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">&#8220;But a shoot shall grow out of Yishai, a twig shall sprout from his stock.

This was delayed until the coming of the Messiah.

It is interesting how the Messiah also gives these attributes to His people via the Holy Spirit of God dwelling in the believers. Paul wrote according to Galatians 5:22-23 saying <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">\u201cthe fruit of the Spirit (\u05e4\u05e8\u05d9 \u05d4\u05e8\u05d5\u05d7) is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, generosity, acts of kindness, faithfulness, humility, and modesty, against such there is no Torah.\u201d<\/span><\/em> We note that the Torah was given for the sinner, not for the righteous. The Spirit of God also gives His people the fear of the Lord and the ability to discern truth and lies. Against the one who walks according to the Spirit, this is the Spirit controlled life, the Torah has nothing to say. This means that one is not being judged by the Torah who walks in the Spirit. On the other hand, the one who walks according to the flesh, he is guilty before God because of the Torah command.
