Isaiah’s prophecy tells how God will establish His kingdom. The section we often hear during Advent ends with these words:
Isaiah 11:7 (NIV)
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
Zeal, qinah in Hebrew, means ardor or jealousy.
Our God’s “divine jealousy” will establish His kingdom. He wants His people with Him for eternity. He doesn’t want to share us with anyone or anything else.
God is jealous … for me. Imagine that!
