The Light Of The Messiah
12/03/2015

Daily Devotions: by Christina Farris

Isaiah 9:1-7 KJV
(1) Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
(2) The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
(3) Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
(4) For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
(5) For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
(6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
(7) 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.

The Achilles heel of ancient prophesy would be surrounded by the time period of the Maccabees. This is not the time of Messiah. However, note this chapter is talking about the Messiah two things can be charted what does the Messiah represent to the people, Is God removing Israel legal system both at the palace and in the temple. The ruling head of state is destroyed by the uprising during the time of Maccabees. Yet the ruling party is reestablished in 1945 in Israel and the Jewish temple is re established only to be taken away by Islamic rule and power in that region in recent years. The argument of who should control the temple mount.

The destruction of establishment of law and the reestablishment of pagean culture in Israel, only means something else must happen, that would be the time of Christ coming. Messiah coming to destroy religious law and power. No Christ came to reestablish the law in the heart of man. The law of God was to be written by the Holy Spirit after He sits down by His Father. Power of faith reestablished at the time of Christ, that supercedes religious law, that ruled in the hearts of religious leaders like Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses. The list continues like Samuel and so forth. Despite whether temple was in full swing functioning or not faith was still established. Christ teaching were of the law that mattered to faith in action. Christ coming was establishment of faith and not the establishment of legal law. Christ law of faith in action only proved how far one would go to die for a people who only look to religious law established with legal system. Religious law crucifying an innocent man because He seemed to be a rebel rouser. Yet the religious leaders that debated with Christ was unable to trap him.

Religious law began with the words let there be light and there was. It is taking the very word of God on faith. Jesus was the word of God and yet he was more then the Word of God, but called wonderful, counselor, the everlasting Father, mighty God and Prince of peace. A ruling factor in religious faith. Something we can not do without is establishment of the Word of God being truth. The true light of God is His Word. His Word whether in darkness or in light still exist. Christ came to reestablish this truth. Signs and wonders done by his voice on command established this truth. The storms ceasing on Christ command and the feeding of the five thousand defying the natural law of science. Let us not forget the raising of the dead or casting out of demons. God’s word reestablished through Christ’s spoken word, making the prophesy of Isaiah even more clear when establishing the word of God in religious world. The religious world becoming more on establishment of man authority instead of God’s authority proof established with crucifixions of the Messiah, and yet God allowed it by His word. Some might say who really in charge God or the religious rule when it came to the crucifixion and the answer comes in the garden when the soldiers came to take Jesus they fell backwards. Jesus establishes himself having the authority to give his life ordained by God to give. That no one took that authority from him. At any time the crucifixion could be stopped but was not. Establishing God’s word must die for it to be reestablished. The wages of sin is death but he gift of God was eternal life through Christ Jesus established through belief in God’s word, God’s salvation plan and faith In Christ Jesus. Yet faith being key factor in God’s decree.

Christ coming is about the spirit of prophesy. About the law of God coming to pass and establishing of faith for a new generation based on God’s promise to start a new covenant with his people of faith. A covenant that would have no end. A establishment of faith only defined by the Holy Spirit through His baptism. By being lead by His Spirit despite common sense.

Dear Heavenly Father give me the grace to have faith that established by your word and the legalism of religious laws. Established by your Spirit and faith in Christ Jesus your only begotten Son, who is your word in the flesh. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
