The future king: peace by a hard road

Isaiah 32:1-8
See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice.
Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
No longer will the fool be called noble nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
Scoundrels use wicked methods, they make up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.
But the noble make noble plans, and by noble deeds they stand.
The future king: peace by a hard road.
Some day... Briefly the prophet returns to the theme of a future king of a time when justice will reign. Verse 6-8 echo the thoughts of the Wisdom writers.
Why?
A kingdom his king reign in righteousness and justice, this is a wonderful nation to his people.
No longer will the fool be called noble, for there are many fool in charge of the noble or officials.
Be a noble and make noble plans.
How?
Praise the Lord and give honor to Jesus Christ without Jesus we are living in the dark.
