Isaiah 11 - I believe is what I am remembering in my study. I have copied below another reference to what was similar in my study - apologize for the depth but it is interesting to myself and possibly others who possibly believe that Egypt and Iran will come alongside Israel - there will be much bloodshed first, but there will be a time come as Isaiah 11 speaks.
Just as the Purim deliverance is a story remarkable turnaround: a story of annihilation and violence but with a happy ending, so Passover has the same themes. Starting with systematic genocide of baby boys, unbearable oppression and slavery, the gods of Egypt are assaulted one by one as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob rains down plagues until His people are set free. In one of the most dramatic stories in the entire Bible, God saves His people with a miraculous deliverance, and the tables are turned on Israel’s enemies. However in both stories, we see multitudes of people, from both Egypt and Iran, joining the house of Israel as they witness the redemption that God brings.
In both stories, the peoples of Egypt and Iran give Israel all that they need for the tabernacle and then the temple in order to worship the One True God.
We also see the story of Yeshua’s first coming fits a similar pattern: starting with the genocide of baby boys, fraught with danger and persecution, an apparently hopeless situation which turns around to be the destruction of the enemy and and great joy breaking out as a result.
This is the pattern laid out for us that is repeated throughout Scripture, and will crescendo in the Ultimate Redemption ushering in the Messianic Age.
The promises of Isaiah 11
Here’s a great passage full of promise of the goodness to come:
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
and a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.
They shall not hurt or destroy
in all my holy mountain;
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
(Isaiah 11:6-9)
Finally, little ones will be totally safe. People have found the Hebrew names of the Bibas children in this passage, Kfir and Ariel, which mean a lion’s cub and a lion of God. In our devastation about the horrors of war, the passage brings hope and comfort that another reality is coming when Yeshua returns. Wrong will be put right.
However, what people often miss is the chapter before, and what leads to this idyllic state.
Isaiah 10 is a chapter full of judgement and wrath, mostly directed at the enemies of Israel. Isaiah 11 then begins with the promise of redemption and the introduction of the Messiah. While both these chapters have already been fulfilled in part, this is the pattern.
Of course, most Christians immediately identify the “shoot from the stump of Jesse” as Yeshua, Son of David, the son of Jesse, and rightly so. But many leap to the conclusion that the passage is all about the first coming. However, in most Messianic prophecies you’ll see the first AND the second coming in the same passage. Christians tend to see the incarnation, and Jewish people tend to see the grand finale. Both are usually there.
When we read verses 4-5 we are actually seeing a picture of Yeshua at the end of time, ruling and reigning as King of all the earth. He has all power, all authority, and this time He is not holding back:
With righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
This picture matches Revelation 19:
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. (Revelation 19:11-13)
The Messiah in Isaiah 11 is now ruling in power and killing the wicked. He is striking the earth and judging its inhabitants. Quite different to the first coming. He is righteous, faithful, and true, but He means business and He has blood on his robe. Whose blood? Not His this time. He is making war against His enemies in order to bring righteousness and justice. This is what it will take to bring about the Eden-like vision of Isaiah 11.
Redemption requires a rescue from enemies
So the story of Purim resembles and repeats the story of Passover, and the ultimate Redemption described in Isaiah 11 — the “Geula” as its known in Hebrew —will also resemble the deliverances manifested in ages past like Passover and Purim, but on a greater level.
Funnily enough, the Passover event, which foreshadowed the redemption from sin and death at calvary, is right in the middle of the story of Purim:
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, saying, “A hand upon the throne of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” (Exodus 17:14-16)
Amalek tried to destroy Israel right after the Exodus, and later King Saul was told to wipe them out completely, centuries before the time of Esther. This was a task he failed to accomplish which led to wicked Haman, descended from the king of the Amalekites, standing in the palace of Persia with the same genocidal intentions. The same spirit operates today in opposition to God and His purposes, but the Messiah will ultimately defeat all His enemies.
The sign of the throne of God
In Exodus 17:16, the Hebrew for the words “throne of the Lord” [כס יה] are both spelled unconventionally, missing half their letters. Some have interpreted this to signify a promise from God: “that His Name will not be complete and His throne will not be complete until the name of Amalek is completely obliterated. And when his name is obliterated, the Divine Name will be complete, and the throne will be complete.”3 This refers to Psalm 9, a powerful, imprecatory psalm which describes the final end of Israel’s enemies and God taking His throne forever.
When the Lord has soundly defeated His enemies in the spiritual and the natural realms, the Prince of Peace, the Lord of lords and King of kings will take His place. He will stand as a sign, raised as a banner to all the people of the world, and He will sit on the throne that is rightfully His and rule with justice. God’s great redemption is coming. And it’s coming soon.
In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.
(Isaiah 11:10)
