Judgement: 10 Judged in Righteousness
By Mark Farquharson
Isaiah 11:1-5 And a Twig shall fare forth from the set slip of Jesse, and a Scion from his roots shall be fruitful." And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest on Him: A spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and mastery, a spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh." And His scent is in the fear of Yahweh. And not by the sight of His eyes will He judge, and not by the hearing of His ears will He correct." Yet He will judge with righteousness the poor, and correct with equity for the humble of the land. And He will smite the earth with the club of His mouth, and with the spirit of His lips will He put to death the wicked." And it comes that righteousness is the belt of His waist, and faithfulness the band of His loins." {CLV}
The Twig, here is Jesus Christ, who will judge with righteousness. Jesus will smite the earth when He returns at the end of this eon, and “with the spirit of His lips will He put to death the wicked." However all the wicked will be brought to live, as has already been covered.
Isaiah 11:6-8 Then the wolf will sojourn with the he-lamb, and the leopard will recline with the kid. And the calf and the sheltered lion will graze together, and a small lad will lead among them." And the young cow and the bear will graze together, and together they will recline their young. And the lion, as the beeve, will eat crushed straw." And the sucking will revel over the hole of a cobra, and on the light-shaft of a yellow viper the weanling his hand obtrudes." {CLV}
After the Throne Judgement, there will be a new earth, where the animals that where once carnivores will eat straw. No animal will kill another animal on this new earth.
Isaiah 11:9 They will not do evil, nor will they ruin, in all My holy mountain, for full is the earth of the knowledge of Yahweh. As water for the sea floor is a covering." {CLV}
This new earth will be full of the knowledge of God. The sons of God will reign over this new earth, filled with the knowledge, wisdom, nature, power and love of God.
Isaiah 26:8-9 Indeed, in the path of Your judgments, Yahweh, we expect You. To Your name and to Your law is the yearning of our soul." With my soul I yearn for You in the night. Indeed, with my spirit within me I will seek You early. For as a light are Your judgments to the earth, the dwellers of the habitance learn righteousness." {CLV}
The dwellers on the new earth will learn righteousness. The people who are actually be on the new earth in the last eon, and they will learn righteousness. They will be ruled over by the people in the kingdom. The sons of God will teach them all about God and His righteousness.
Acts 17:30-31 Indeed, then, condoning the times of ignorance, God is now charging mankind that all everywhere are to repent, forasmuch as He assigns a day in which He is about to be judging the inhabited earth in righteousness by the Man Whom He specifies, tendering faith to all, raising Him from among the dead - " {CLV}
God has assign a day in which He is about to be judging the inhabited earth in righteousness. This judging will be done by the Man Whom God specifies, tendering faith to all, raising Him from among the dead. Jesus Christ is the Man, Whom God has specified, and raised from among the dead. Christ will be judging the inhabited earth in righteousness, and tendering faith to all. That is all mankind will have faith in God, that is they will trust in God, and be devoted to God.
There are many psalms and other passages of scripture that tell of the righteousness of the judgement. Just consider these verses of scripture:
Psalms 96:9-13 Worship Yahweh in His holy effulgence! Travail because of His presence, all the earth." Say among the nations, Yahweh reigns! Indeed, established is the habitance; By no means shall it slip; He shall adjudicate the peoples with equity." Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth exult, Let the sea thunder and its fullness, Let the field be joyous, and all that is in it; Then all the trees of the wildwood shall be jubilant" Before Yahweh, for He comes; For He comes to judge the earth; He shall judge the habitance in righteousness, And the peoples in His truth." {CLV}
Psalms 97:1-2 Yahweh reigns; let the earth exult; Let the many coastlands rejoice. Cloud and murkiness are around Him; Righteousness and right judgment are the basis of His throne. {CLV}
Psalms 97:6 The heavens tell of His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory." {CLV}
Psalm 98:1-9 Sing to Yahweh a new song, For He has done marvelous works; His right hand and His holy arm have brought His salvation." Yahweh has made known His salvation; To the eyes of the nations He has revealed His righteousness. He has remembered His benignity and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the limits of the earth have seen the salvation of our Elohim. Raise a joyful shout to Yahweh, all the earth; Burst forth and be jubilant and make melody." Make melody to Yahweh with the harp, With the harp and the sound of melody." With bugles and the sound of the trumpet, Raise a joyful shout before Yahweh the King." Let the sea thunder, and its fullness, The habitance and those dwelling in it." The streams, let them clap with the palm, The mountains, let them be jubilant together before Yahweh. For He comes to judge the earth; He shall judge the habitance in righteousness, And the peoples with equity." {CLV}
Psalms 33:3-5 Sing to Him a new song; Be skillful to play with joyful shouting. For upright is the word of Yahweh, And all His work is in faithfulness." He is loving righteousness and right judgment; The earth is full of the benignity of Yahweh. {CLV}
Psalms 89:14-16 Righteousness and right judgment are the basis of Your throne; Benignity and truth stand before Your presence. Happy are the people who know the joyful shouting; O Yahweh, they shall walk in the light of Your presence." In Your Name shall they exult the entire day, And in Your righteousness shall they be exalted." {CLV}
Psalms 101:1 A Davidic Psalm Of benignity and judgment shall I sing; To You, O Yahweh, will I make melody." {CLV}
Isaiah 42:1-4 Behold My Servant! I am upholding Him. My Chosen! Accepted by My soul! I bestow My spirit upon Him, and He shall bring forth judgment to the nations." He shall not cry, nor make a tumult, nor cause His voice to be heard outside." A bruised reed He will not break, and dimmed flax He will not quench, for truth will He bring forth judgment." And He will not dim nor bruise till He shall place judgment in the earth. And the coastlanders will wait for His law." {CLV}
Isaiah 42:5-6 Thus says the El, Yahweh Elohim, Creator of the heavens, Who stretched them out, Who stamped the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people upon it, and spirit to those going in it:" I, Yahweh Elohim, call you in righteousness, and I will hold fast to your hand and preserve you, and I will give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Nations, {CLV}
Jeremiah 4:2 And you have sworn--Yahweh lives, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, And blessed themselves in Him have nations, And in Him they boast themselves." {CLV}
