[6] "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this."
It's very easy as we look at our circumstances and the craziness of the world around us, to read verse 7's proclamation-"Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end"-and say, "God, I'm not seeing it."
This is the moment we need The Holy Spirit to remove the scales from our eyes so we can have a God's-Eye view of history and our present day.
Philippians 2:9-11 gives us a glimpse of this prophecy's fulfillment....
[9] "Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, [10] so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, [11] and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
This Advent and Christmas Season, allow The Holy Spirit to clear and expand your vision to see the full reality of God's Promises unfolding in our midst today and all the tomorrows to come!
Be blessed and be a blessing!
