“The Root of Jesse, Day 9” (3 panels)
Isaiah 11:9
©️2020 Gloria M. Chang
They shall not harm or destroy on all my holy mountain;
Isaiah 11:9
for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the Lord,
as water covers the sea.
Reign of Peace
When knowledge of the Lord fills the earth, violent and destructive forces will be quelled within hearts conquered by Christ. But since the kingdom of God is already “within” and “among” us (Luke 17:21), may we enthrone Christ in our hearts and homes today.
Traditional Chinese Translation
《耶西之根,第 9 天》
在我聖山的遍處,這一切都不傷人,不害物,
因為認識耶和華的知識要充滿遍地,
好像水充滿洋海一般。
Dear GMC, Thank you for your reflection. It reminds us that in the Messiah’s kingdom there is no hate, fear, cruelty or danger, but perfect peace and harmony. People truly know who God is, and therefore they no longer do evil to each other. Glory to you, O Lord.
