Purpose of the 2nd Advent – 7

Meet out justice to all

Isaiah 42:1-4

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

      The Wickedness of Judah
    Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!

 For the Lord has spoken:

 “I have nourished and brought up children,
 And they have rebelled against Me;
  The ox knows its owner
 And the donkey its master's crib;
 But Israel does not know,
 My people do not consider.”
  Alas, sinful nation,
 A people laden with iniquity,
 A brood of evildoers,
 Children who are corrupters!
 They have forsaken the Lord,
 They have provoked to anger
 The Holy One of Israel,
 They have turned away backward.

Jeremiah 23:5-6

“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
 “That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
 A King shall reign and prosper,
 And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
  In His days Judah will be saved,
 And Israel will dwell safely;
 Now this is His name by which He will be called:
 THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

1 Corinthians 15:24-28

Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
