‏ Isaiah 11:10

Advancement of Messiah's Kingdom

This section gives a prophecy about how the kingdom of the Messiah will grow and become strong. It uses the example of how Judah became strong again after God defeated Sennacherib. This message is not only about past events but also about the future, when God will bring together people from many nations into the Messiah’s kingdom. God’s power will remove every obstacle so that people can come to Him.

v. 10: The Messiah, called the “root of Jesse,” will be like a banner for all people. Many nations will come to Him, and His kingdom will be a place of peace and glory. This was partly seen when foreign leaders came to learn about God’s wonders in Jerusalem, but it points even more to Jesus. Paul quotes this verse, saying, “In him shall the Gentiles trust” (Romans 15:12 a). Jesus is the “root of David” (Revelation 5:5 b).
