Jesus Christ has come in fulfillment of God's promises and shows us the kind of blessing his rule will be to the nations.

Though the refusal of God's people to believe His Word, leads to judgment, God will shine a light upon the nation, bringing them a glorious deliverer.

God's people will face judgment for abusing his grace in their fruitlessness. The cleansing and commissioning of lsaiah their prophet suggests, however, that God may be willing to do the same for His people.

God alone is able to offer us a glorious future. Trusting in our own strength, resources, abilities and leaders is not going to save us from our present troubles. Instead, we must trust wholeheartedly in God who alone is able to rescue and deliver us from our present plight and transfer us into His glorious kingdom.
