Isa Msg 39

Truth:
1. A twig coming out from a dried and dead stump is a strong indication of the restoring power in this life.
2. The branch signifies that this life has the deepening power, the growing power, and the fruit-bearing power.
3. A banner is full of explanation, description, and instruction. A standard is to call the people and to gather the people.
4. Christ as the twig becomes the banner and as the branch becomes the standard.
5. Christ stands as a banner indicates being full of strength and ability.
6. Christ as the banner to the peoples and the standard to the nations will bring in the return of God's people and the submission of the Gentiles.
7. God's chastisement of His chosen people and His judgment of the nations ushers in Christ.

Life experience/Application:
1. If we are jealous of each other and hostile to each other, we cannot be together to plunder the people from the west and from the east, and they will not fall into the grasp of our hand and submit to us.
2. Lord, make me full of restoration of life.
