Jesus Christ
2. 2
Why did Isaiah record the below
passage? When will it be
fulfilled?
The wolf and the lamb
shall feed together, and
the lion shall eat straw
like the bullock: and dust
shall be the serpent's
meat. They shall not hurt
nor destroy in all my holy
mountain, saith the
LORD” - Isa 65:25
3. 3
A shoot goes out from the
stump of Jesse
David’s line has not
seen a King in more
than 2000 years
The current system is
democratic and does
not depend on lineage
But
And a Shoot goes out
from the stump of Jesse,
and a Branch will bear
fruit out of his roots. [Isa
11:1]
4. 4
What Does this shoot do?
Bring Justice
And He is made to breathe in the fear
of Jehovah.
But He shall not judge by the sight of
His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of
His ears.
But He shall judge the poor in
righteousness, and shall decide
rightly for the meek of the earth.
And He shall strike the earth with the
rod of His mouth, and He shall cause
the wicked to die with the breath of
His lip. [Isa 11:3-4]
5. 5
A Glorious scene of Peace
and Justice – When? Where?
And the wolf shall live with the lamb;
and the leopard shall lie with the kid;
and the calf and the young lion and the
fatling together; and
a little boy shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall feed, their
young shall lie together; and
the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the infant shall play on the hole of the
asp; yea, the weaned child shall put his
hand on the viper's den.
They shall not do evil, nor destroy in
all My holy mountain. For the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah,
as the waters cover the sea. [Isa 11:6-9]
6. 6
World Central Rule to be
established in Jerusalem
And it shall be in the last days, the mountain of
the house of Jehovah shall be established in the
top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above
the hills;
and all nations shall flow into it. And many
people shall go and say, Come and let us go up to
the mount of Jehovah, to the house of the God of
Jacob. And He will teach from His ways, and we
will walk in His paths. (Also Mic 4:1,2)
For out of Zion the Law will go forth, and
the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
And He shall judge among the nations and shall
rebuke many people.
And they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation
shall not lift up sword against nation, nor
shall they learn war any more. [Isa 2:2-4]
7. 7
The Prophet Zechariah also
saw a similar vision
So says Jehovah of Hosts: There shall
yet come peoples, and those living in
many cities. And those living in one
shall go to another, saying, Let us go at
once to seek the favor of the face of
Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of Hosts;
I will go also. And many peoples and
strong nations shall come to seek
Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem,
and to seek the favor of the face of
Jehovah. So says Jehovah of Hosts: In
those days ten men out of all languages
of the nations shall take hold, and will
seize the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying,
Let us go with you, for we have heard
that God is with you. [Zec 8:20-23]
8. 8
The Prophet Daniel also prophesied of a
future world government to be setup in
this world
And in the days of these
kings, the God of
Heaven shall set up
a kingdom which
shall never be
destroyed. And the
kingdom shall not be
left to other people. It
shall break in pieces
and destroy all these
kingdoms, and it shall
stand forever. [Dan
2:44]
9. 9
Jesus is the Messiah (The Anointed)
Future Ruler of the World
Behold, the days come,
says Jehovah, that I will
raise to David a
righteous Branch, and a
King shall reign and act
wisely, and He shall do
justice and
righteousness in the
earth. [Jer 23:5]
See also Isa 42:1-3
10. 10
Same Message in the New
Testament
The Promise to Mary & Joseph
Message to Joseph – Save from Sin
Mat 1:21 She will give birth to a
son, and you are to name him
Jesus, because he is the one who
will save his people from their
sins.“
Message to Mary – Central Kingdom
Luk 1:32,33 He will be great and
will be called the Son of the Most
High, and the Lord God will give
him the throne of his forefather
David. He will rule over the
house of Jacob forever, and
his kingdom will never end.“
11. 11
Jesus will come AGAIN to
Rule
this World
And saying these things, as they
looked on, He was taken up, and
a cloud received Him from their
sight. And as they were intently
looking into the heaven, He
having gone, even behold, two
men in white clothing stood by
them, who also said, Men,
Galileans, why do you stand
looking up to the heaven?
This Jesus, the One being taken
from you into the heaven, will
come in the way you
saw Him going into the
heaven. [Act 1:9-11]
12. 12
What is the Christian Hope of Life after
Death? What was the hope of Disciples?
Then answering, Peter said to
Him, Behold, we left all
things and followed You.
What then shall be to us?
And Jesus said to them, Truly
I say to you,
You who have followed Me,
in the regeneration when
the Son of Man sits on the
throne of His glory, you
also will sit on twelve
thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
[Mat 19:27-28]
13. 13
What is the Christian Hope of Life after
Death? What is our hope?
"When the Son of Man comes in his
glory and all the angels are with him,
he will sit on his glorious
throne.
All the nations will be assembled in
front of him, and he will separate
them from each other as a shepherd
separates the sheep from the goats.
He will put the sheep on his right but
the goats on his left.
"Then the king will say to those on
his right, 'Come, you who have been
blessed by my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the
world. [Mat 25:31-34]
14. 14
God’s ultimate Plan for this Earth –
Comfort provided, Death eradicated
And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,
coming down out of Heaven from God, having
been prepared as a bride, having been adorned for
her Husband.
And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God with men!
And He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His
people, and
God Himself will be with them as their God.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
And death shall be no longer, nor mourning,
nor outcry, nor will there be pain any more; for the first
things passed away.
[Rev 21:2-4]
