Isaiah chapter 11 is dedicated to a description of the Messianic era. Beginning with the Messiah himself, Isaiah delineates that \u201cGod\u2019s spirit will rest upon him\u201d and he will be possessed of these six qualities (11:2):<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. He will have the spirit of wisdom, and<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. understanding, and<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. counsel, and<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. might, and<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. knowledge, and<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. he will have a fear of God.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But then, more broadly, Isaiah prophesizes that with the onset of the Messianic era the earth itself will be filled with the knowledge of God (11:9).<\/span><\/p>\n

    The two descriptions invite the question, if the earth itself \u2013 the whole world \u2013 will be imbued with an understanding of God, then why is it also necessary to have a person \u2013 a Messiah to lead the people? Won\u2019t the new order of a global, intuitive understanding of God be enough? Won\u2019t that naturally translate to a global populace who will instinctively do right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Not necessarily.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The world might have an understanding of God, but note how that description differs from what the Messiah \u2013 the newly appointed king of the world will have: understanding plus wisdom, counsel, might and knowledge. The first rung on the ladder to any sea change is a desire and willingness for transformation \u2013 an understanding and complete buy-in of the objective. In fact, that readiness is a necessary precursor to effective leadership, not an outcome of it. The Messiah\u2019s role is to support and promote a global unified readiness for a new world order.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We know all too well what happens when there\u2019s a disconnect between public will and leadership. World hunger persists, the environment deteriorates, wars continue to rage – not because of a lack of understanding of the objectives of food security, environmentalism and world-peace, but because, with a dearth of global leadership, small-scale activism has relatively small-scale tangible impact. What such activism does produce, however, is attitudinal shifts \u2013 increased understanding leading to readiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

    So perhaps our job as global citizens is to incrementally increase readiness for change by unifying attitudinal change while we wait for the real Messiah. Only then will we recognize and be able to move forward under the leadership of the Messiah who God sends to support the universal will.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":65347,"id":65347,"title":"is11-leader","filename":"is11-leader.png","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/is11-leader.png","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/the-basis-of-a-messianic-era-as-a-partnership\/is11-leader\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"is11-leader","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":65346,"date":"2019-11-06
