bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"Because the captivity of Babylon was a figure of the spiritual captivity under sin, he shows that our true deliverance must come by Christ: for as David came out of Jesse, a man without dignity, so Christ would come of a poor carpenter's house as out of a dead stock."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"The Messiah is called a Rod, and a Branch. The words signify a small, tender product; a shoot, such as is easily broken off. He comes forth out of the stem of Jesse; when the royal family was cut down and almost levelled with the ground, it would sprout again."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"Wisdom - It is not needful, exactly to distinguish these two gifts; it is sufficient that they are necessary qualifications for a governor, and a teacher, and it is evident they signify perfect knowledge of all things necessary for his own and peoples good, and a sound judgment, to distinguish between things that differ."
bulletThe General Spread of the Gospel (Isaiah 11:9). Sermon by John Wesley.
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"From the local and temporary national deliverance the prophet passes by the law of suggestion in an easy transition to the end of all prophecy--the everlasting deliverance under Messiah's reign, not merely His first coming, but chiefly His second coming. The language and illustrations are still drawn from the temporary national subject, with which he began, but the glories described pertain to Messiah's reign."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies and Exegesis:
bulletIsaiah 11:1-10: Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), Advent 2A, Chris Haslam, Diocese of Montreal.
bullet Isaiah 11:1-10, Studies on Old Testament texts from Series A, Ralph W. Klein, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.
bullet The Old Testament Readings: Weekly Comments on the Revised Common Lectionary, Howard Wallace Audrey Schindler, Morag Logan, Paul Tonson, Lorraine Parkinson, Theological Hall of the Uniting Church, Melbourne, Australia.
bullet"Isa 11:1-9 points us to a vision of an ideal world, in both political and natural terms."
bullet Commentary, Background, Insights from Literary Structure, Theological Message, Ways to Present the Text. Anna Grant-Henderson, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"This ideal king deals with people in the same way as God deals with humans - with justice and compassion."
bullet Progressive Bible Study: Isaiah11:1-10, Pastor Dan, Street Prophets.
bullet "Jesus was not killed because humanity hated God but because they hated what God-with-us would do to their social power and privilege. That's how the writers of the New Testament understood the narrative, and they reached back to texts such as this one to shape their telling of the story."
bullet "The Ideal King," Larry Broding's Word-Sunday.Com: A Catholic Resource for This Sunday's Gospel.
bullet"The prophet did paint the ideal Jewish king. The righteous ruler who would bring a true peace to the world. Because he possessed the wisdom and power of God's Spirit."
bullet "Silviculture," Jerome Burce, Sabbatheology.
bullet "Breaking the Code of Isaiah," Expository Essay, Dr. William R. Long.
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "War in the Old Testament," John A. Wood, (other resources at) "Peace and War," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2004.
bullet"How can God be both a God of peace and a God of war? The ancient Israelites reached no consensus about holy war, just war, and pacifism. Yet Scripture faithfully records their long and difficult debates, for the diversity of viewpoints arose out of a deep faith in God who had brought the people out of Egypt."
bullet "I Am About To Do a New Thing," Carol J. Dempsey, O.P., "Prophetic Ethics," Christian Reflection, 2003.
bullet"The kaleidoscopic portrait of God’s power in the prophets both comforts and confuses us. Yet within the biblical text there is a compelling vision of power that can transform the whole of creation, if only we have eyes to see and minds to engage it."
bullet "Divine Warfare and Nonresistance," Gerald Janzen, Direction, 2003.
bullet"On the matter of nonresistance, the theme of spiritual warfare demonstrates a continuity between the Old and New Testaments."
