The Triumph of Justice Isaiah 42

The Triumph of Justice

In Isaiah 42, the prophet gave his premier prophecy on the way in which worldwide justice will triumph under Jesus’ leadership. Jesus’ ministry is seen in context to Isaiah 42 (Matt. 3:17, 12:18, 17:5; Luke 18:7-8).

The Triumph of Justice

Is it going to get better, or is it going to get worse? Darkness at its height, but also

Light The Fullness of His kingdom and

justice will not come until He is bodily with us on the earth

Isaiah 42

The prophesy of justice by Isaiah 42 was partially fulfilled by the first coming of Jesus, but will be ultimately fulfilled by His second coming

Isaiah 42

A message needs to be clear to our world that justice is coming to the earth and only those who have the blood of Jesus covering them will be found just

Isaiah 42

Jesus is the Father’s answer to injustice (Is. 42)

Social Justice has become the buzz word but can be somewhat deceptive

It deals with the issues of the oppressed which can have good in it

Isaiah 42

Social justice often doesn’t deal with the deeper issues of dealing with the oppressors and the ultimate cause of injustice … which is sin.

still and restrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in labor, I will pant

and gasp at once.

that you may see.

Isaiah 42:16-25

19 Who is blind but My servant, or deaf as My messenger whom I send? Who is blind as he who is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant? 20 Seeing many

things, but you do not observe; opening the ears, but he does not hear."

God’s people unaware of what is truly going on (Pastors not teaching it all)

Isaiah 42:16-25

21 The LORD is well pleased for His righteousness' sake; He will exalt

the [Word] … 22 But this is a people robbed and plundered; all of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prison houses; they are for prey, and no one delivers;

for plunder, and no one says, "Restore!"

Isaiah 42:16-25

23 Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come? 24 Who gave

Jacob for plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Was it not the LORD, He

against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in His ways,

nor were they obedient to His {WORD}.

Isaiah 42:16-25

25 Therefore He has poured on him the fury of His anger and the

strength of battle; it has set him on fire all around, yet he did not know;

and it burned him, yet he did not take it to heart.
