An interesting discussion follows the judgment of Yisra’el in America under the Assyrian as discussed in Yesha’yahu 9 and 10.
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 11:1-9
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Yishay, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the RUACH YAHUAH shall rest upon him, the RUACH of Wisdom (chokmah) and Understanding (binah), the RUACH of Counsel (etsah) and Might (gevurah), the RUACH of Knowledge (da’ath) and of the Fear (yirah) of YAHUAH; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of YAHUAH: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness (tsedeqah) shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5 And righteousness (tsedeqah) shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness (emunah) the girdle of his reins. 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of את (eth)-YAHUAH, as the waters cover the sea.
There are two aspects to this prophecy, because there are two feet to the one faith (yachad): which is the Testimony of HaMashiach, and the keeping of the Torah. This first passage in Yesha’yahu 11 is the word concerning the Testimony. This testimony could be discussed for a great deal of time as it embraces the fundamental metaphysics of the manifestation of ELOHIYM in the finite and the structure of the Testimony of Mashiach, which is righteousness (tsedeqah) and faithfulness (emunah).
We have discussed these two terms – righteousness and faithfulness – to some degree in prior writings, and these two terms again represent the Testimony (faithfulness) and the keeping of the Torah (righteousness). These are the marks of the remnant, and those against whom the dragon will make war.
Chizayon (Revelation) 12:17
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of YAHUAH, and have the testimony of YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH.
The next aspect of this prophecy – the keeping of the Torah – is discussed a bit more by Yesha’yahu in the following verses:
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 11:10-16
And in that day there shall be a root of Yishay, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the other people seek: and his rest shall be glorious. 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that ADONAI shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Mitsrayim, and from Pathroc, and from Kush, and from Eylam, and from Shin`ar, and from Chamath, and from the islands of the sea. 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Yisra’el, and gather together the dispersed of Yahudah from the four corners of the earth. 13 The envy also of Ephrayim shall depart, and the adversaries of Yahudah shall be cut off: Ephrayim shall not envy את (eth)-Yahudah, and Yahudah shall not vex את (eth)-Ephrayim. 14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Pelishtiym toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Mo’av; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. 15 And YAHUAH shall utterly destroy את (eth) the tongue of the Mitsriym sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. 16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Yisra’el in the day that he came up out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Let us reach this conclusion:
The rod of Yishay is the coming Mashiach.
The root of Yishay is the Torah.
The Torah then is the ensign that shall assemble the outcasts of Yisra’el, and gather the dispersed of Yahudah from the four corners of the earth. This gathering is discussed again later in scripture, and we will discuss it further as well.
