Isa Msg 31

Truth:
1. Christ was anointed by God and with God, and then through His death and resurrection He became the ointment for the anointing of others.
2. In His first coming, Christ came to minister, to dispense, Himself into His followers. When He comes the second time, He will come mainly in an outward way to rescue Israel from their circumstances and to bring in their restoration.
3. In Isaiah's prophesy the Lord's two comings are like two mountain peaks which, when viewed from a distance, seem to be one peak.
4. Both Christ and His 12 apostles seemingly forsook Israel and established the church. However, in the restoration, when the Lord returns in His second coming, He will first receive the throne of David His father, and then He will be the Ruler of the nations. His twelve apostles will be His helpers to rule over the nation of Israel.
5. During the restoration, righteousness will be dispensed, transfused, into the Jews, they will shine forth righteousness.
6. The first section of His coming results in the producing and building up of the church.
7. The second section will be of 3 parts. 1) Christ will be in the heavens to receive the raptured overcomers into His presence. 2) He will descend with His overcomers from the third heaven to the air. He will judge the believers and have a wedding day. 3) Christ and His newly-married bride as His army will descend to Bozrah to destroy the armies of the earth.

Life experience/Application:
1. Lord, may I have more of Your anointing!
