Purpose of the 2nd Advent – 6

Deliver creation from Bondage 

Romans 8:21-24

because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

Isaiah 11:1-2

There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
   And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
  The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
 The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
 The Spirit of counsel and might,
 The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

Read Isaiah 35:1-8 & 20-25

Bring Salvation

Isaiah 11:9

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
 For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
 As the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 49:6

Indeed He says,

 ‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant
 To raise up the tribes of Jacob,
 And to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
 I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles,
 That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”

Isaiah 52:7

How beautiful upon the mountains
 Are the feet of him who brings good news,
 Who proclaims peace,
 Who brings glad tidings of good things,
 Who proclaims salvation,
 Who says to Zion,
 “Your God reigns!”

Read 1 Peter 1:5-13 & Romans 11:25-29
