The Stump That Become A King

Isaiah 11:1-2

"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse and a Branch

shall grow out of his roots; and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon 

him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of

counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge

and of fear of the Lord"

    This passage describes what is left of a once mighty tree after it has been cut down, "a stump." That mighty tree, being the Kingdoms of David and Solomon, which was destroyed by the Assyrian and Babylonian axe men. However this stump stands in obvious contrast to the number of dead stumps that covered the ground after God had cut down the huge Assyrian forest described by Isaiah in chapter 10. "The same will come to all ungodly nations at the final destruction of all Gentile world power at the return of the Lord." 

    But there is an important difference in this stump, "is not dead!" First a rod (or sprig) will spring up from that dead stump, and then the rod will branch out into fruit. "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof," (Rev. 5:5).  
    The Holy Spirit of God rested upon the Babe of Bethlehem and citizen of Nazareth giving to Him the Spirit of  wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and of fear of the Lord. These six Spirits, plus the Holy Spirit making it seven corresponds to the Golden lampstand, with the main shaft and the three pairs of branches from its side. (Ex. 25:31-32; Rev. 1:4; 4:5; 5:6).
    My Friends, The Stump that become a King is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. His own people denied Him crucified Him, But He Is Still Lord of Lords King of Kings and Saviour. 
Amen:
