Isaiah 32:6-7
The Fool and the Noble
In that time justice will reign and there will also have come an end to a reversal of values and to the utterly misjudgment of relationships in God’s people. The people as a whole have called the foolish antichrist noble, and this “rogue” has been held in high regard by them because of his deceitful generosity (Isa 32:5; Jn 5:43). Isa 32:6-7 give a more detailed description of what is being planned in the wicked heart of the fool and rogue. On the other hand, there is what the “noble man” devises, what his life radiates, and what is consistently present with him (Isa 32:8). In the realm of peace, everything will be called by its true name, as in creation, where Adam gives each being the appropriate name (Gen 2:19-20). There will be no more reversal of things. No one can pretend to be anything other than what he really is. The “noble man” cannot be anyone but the Lord Jesus. But also every believer, everyone who has Him as his life and lives in fellowship with Him, may be such a “noble man”. The believer is also asked to “devise noble plans” (Phil 4:8) – and not to “devise evil … against one another” (Zec 7:10; Zec 8:17) – and to stand by “noble plans”.
