The Zeal of the Lord!
The majestic Messianic prophecy of Isaiah 9 culminates in a powerful declaration: âThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.â Not might. Not maybe. Not if we work hard enough. It will be done — because God Himself is passionate to see it through. The Hebrew word for âzealâ here is ×§Ö´× Ö°×Ö¸× (kinâah), which also means jealousy or burning passion. This is not passive interest — itâs the fiery determination of the LORD of Hosts to establish His Kingdom. The same fiery zeal that struck Egypt with plaguesâshattering the power of false gods, that parted the Red Sea and made a way where there was none, that birthed a nation from the womb of slavery, and that drove the Son of God to the cross at Calvary — is the very zeal that will fulfill every promise declared in Isaiah 9.
