[:en]Thoughts from Isaiah 11[:]

[:en]A great kingdom will come from the branch of Jesse.  The Spirit of the Lord will rest in him.  They will delight in the fear of the Lord with the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, power and knowledge (vs. 1-3).  God will judge with righteousness and there will be big peace on earth (vs. 4-9).  He will reach out His hand to reclaim His remnant and raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel.  He will assemble the scattered people of Judah (v. 12).[:]
