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.
