The Wolf and the Lamb: A Righteous King and the Peaceable Kingdom | Isaiah 11–13

Episode Overview What kind of king is worth hoping for? In this episode we walk through Isaiah 11 through 13. A shoot grows from the stump of Jesse—a King on whom the Spirit of the Lord rests, full of wisdom and might, who judges the poor with righteousness and decides with fairness. Isaiah paints an astonishing picture of His kingdom: the wolf lives with the lamb, the lion eats straw, a child leads them, and the earth is full of the knowledge of the Lord. Isaiah 12 responds with a song of thanksgiving, and Isaiah 13 begins the prophecies against the nations, assuring the oppressed that God sees injustice.
