In this study through the Key Chapters of the Bible, we've seen that there are key chapters, and there are KEY chapters! Today, we're studying one of those Key-Key Chapters! Isaiah 11 explains God's plan for the redemption He is bringing into this world. Understanding this passage will help us unlock other passages throughout God's Word. Join us!

DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:

1. Have you heard of Christ’s millennial kingdom? What do you know about it?
2. Verse 1 talks about a “shoot” and a “branch.” Who is this referring to?
3. In verse 2, “Who” will rest on “Him”? How does this point to the Trinity?
4. Isaiah 11 is speaking to the transformation that the Lord will bring in His millennial kingdom. What principles, in verses 2 & 3, will guide the King who presides over this kingdom?
5. Notice that the kingdom is not perfect in verses 3 & 4. How does this help us distinguish between Christ’s earthly millennial kingdom, and His eternal kingdom in the New Heavens and New Earth?
6. In verses 6 - 9, what will the relationship be between the animals and each other in this kingdom? What will their relationship be with humanity?
7. In verse 10, how will the nations regard the “Root of Jesse”?
8. Verses 11 – 12 speak of the establishment of this kingdom. What does it say will happen? Who will be recovered in the establishment of this kingdom? From where will they be recovered from? What sense does this give us about what events will be happening at this time?
9. Verse 13 -14 speaks of the future conquests of Ephraim and Judah. We’ve noted in the past that these terms are often used to describe the Northern Kingdom (Ephraim) and the Southern Kingdom (Judah). What will they accomplish in these verses?
10. Verse 15 – 16 speaks of a serious cataclysmic change that happens during this time that produce a return of the people back to God. What are these verses describing that will one day happen?
11. As you contemplate this kingdom that is described in this chapter, what are some ways we (as kingdom citizens) can live by these principles today?
