Isaiah 32:1

Copyright Ó 2016 J. Neely
Isaiah 32:1

1 Behold, a king [melek] shall reign [malak] in righteousness [tsedeq], and princes [sar] shall rule [sarar] in judgment [mishpat].   KJV-Interlinear

1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.  ESV

After the complete destruction of evil, that was described in the previous chapter, we now have the description of the reign of the King and princes, as the rule over a country should be. Leaders of the nations of the world should take note of this chapter. Their primary responsibility is to rule not through politics or self-interest, but through righteousness and justice, in the true sense of righteousness and justice, and by the discernment of wisdom.

Unfortunately, the leaders of the world, throughout history, have not done this. And they certainly do not follow these principles today.

But there will come a time when rule, as it should be, will be proper and correct and fair. And that time will not occur until the second advent of Jesus Christ.

The King, of course refers to Jesus Christ.

The princes, refers to all government officials, whether elected or appointed, but this can also refer to leaders or owners or officials of business and enterprise, and other organizations, as well as the function of families.

Leaders should take note, but more than likely they will not, and life will simply continue on as it has for thousands of years, until Christ brings an end to it all, and establishes His own kingdom, here on earth.





These studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever. 

And if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. 

To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.

The Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to complete yourself beyond your imagination.

But you have to decide to make that commitment.  No one else can study for you.  You have to do that yourself.
