Isaiah 11:1
We can always count on God to keep His promises. He made a covenant with king David to establish David’s throne forever. But when Israel was conquered by Assyria, that promise seemed all but lost. Yet with the birth of Jesus called in Matthew, the Son of David, we see God’s promise fulfilled. For Christ’s lineage can be traced through the line of Nathan; David’s son, back to David, who is the son of Jesse. Although it took over 1,000 years, Isaiah’s prophecy was fulfilled and God’s Word proved true with the birth of Messiah Jesus.
