Zeal of the Lord Alimighty will accomplish this

Isaiah 9:1-7
6/16/2013
The people walking in the darkness have seen a great light.
Your have enlarged the nation and increased their joy;
Rejoice as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder.
As in the day of Midian's defeat you have Shattered(粉碎) their burdens on them, the bar and the rod.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.
This prophecy moves right away from the dark days of the present to a vision of a bright ad glorious future. A king will come from David's line to rule in peace and justice - for ever.
Zebulun and Naphtali in Galilee, the first of the tribes to be crushed by Assyria, will be the first to see the light, to taste the joy, to be set free by the coming prince of peace.
Why?
Matthew 4:12-16 specifically links this prophecy with the coming of Jesus, whose home-town was Nazareth, in Galilee, and who began his public ministry at Cana in Galilee.
A son born for us is the Jesus Christ, prophesied through Isaiah.
He brings the light and joy to us, he came with justice ad righteous, he build a kingdom from that time on an forever.
The Zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this. I need the zeal to accomplish the mission of the Lord! This is the power of the Lord, it is not me.
Zeal: enthusiastic,diligence; ardor. intensity, passion.
How?
Praise to the Lord and pray to the Lord gives me the faith and strength to follow his command and give me the zeal to accomplish his commands.
