hebrew word designating the representative the agent the kevealer of god iho creek translation of the world is christ the old testament uo phets looked forward to his coiping nnd tried to depfct what he would be like the new testament is the story of how he actually came it is his comnie that christmas cele bra tea the book of isaiah was written about 790 years before christ at a time when the little country of ju dah and its capital fortress jerusa lem was besieged by assyria des pair reigned among the inhabitants at the sight of the mighty army of assyrians and even the king gave way to it isaiah the prophet how ever was confident of national de livery and the text for this lesson from isaiah is probably part of speech which he delivered during the siege in it he declares that god will send aid in the person of a div inelyendowed leader whose wis dom goodness and power is descri bed god vindicated the faith of this prophet although not in the way he anticipated- judah was in deed delivered from assyria had a few years of independence but la ter fell prey to the babylonian persian macedonian and roman empires in succession the divine leader pictured by isaiah did not e until many centuries had paa- when he did come men of faith who remembered and chen shed the prophecies of old recogni zed his likeness in the descriptions of isaiah indeed there are passu ges in the book particularly in the latter part of it which it would al mobt seem jesus of nazareth went out of his way to fulfil literally take for instance the will known chapter 63 the coming of the messiah ays isaiah ib a time of great joy the king james translation of j a is unfortunati for it should riad thou hast multiplied the nation thou hast increased their joy it ia u time of joy because the people that formerly livid in the dark ness of oppression misery and pov erty he had a great light brought into that darkness a li thai means deliverance compare this with the description of what the coming of jesus into the world meant in the gospel of john chap i the light shine th in the dark ness and the darkness comprehen ded overcame it not oppres sors and tryants will be destroyed and all their implements of war burned in fire j 4 5 in succeeding venes the prophet describes the character of the mes lan by giving him descriptive titles wonderful counsellor indicates that he is possessed of the practi cal knowledge which makes for a wise ruler mighty god implies that his power is far more than an earthly power and that he has a peculiar relation to god rwcrlas ting father suggests the same also that his reign and his coneern for the people is not limited to the or dinary life span he is not to die and relinquish his authority as mor tal rulers do finally he is prince of peace for peace shall come with his reign and last as long as the reign the book of revelation from which the other passages of this week s lesson are taken pictures as does the whole new testament the fact that the messiah has corns he has begun his reign and is even now waging war on his enemies and extending his empire but it is a reign of love and brotherhood sod his weapons are love and brother hood heaienl weapons not earthly for his kingdom is not of this world christians are suffer ing terrible persecution but they are meeting it bravely in the spirit of the christ and under his leader ship it is significant that in rev ii 16 the writer uses the present tense the kingdoms of this world have already become the kingdom of oirrlord and of his christ he speaks as though it were already ac complished fa believes that there is no more doubt about the future than about the past because god has determined it john be iieved god jiad made the promise and that was all that was needed for farth and assurance faith is built upon the promises of god in chap 15 john s visio concerns a beast his image and his mark va 21 the beast stood for the po wer of rome possibly the emperor himself

but to the christians it was only transient compared to the everlasting reirn of christ already begun that is the message of christmas the messiah is come his work is done he has trampled underfoot the power of evil and darkness his reign has begun hallelujah the lord god omnipotent reigneth and his church is calledupon to witness to the power of his love in spite of dungeon fire and sword jetus
