Isaiah 11
Scofield Reference Notes
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
[1] The Davidic kingdom

The order of events in Isa. 10., 11., is noteworthy. Isa. 10. gives the distress of the Remnant in Palestine in the great tribulation. Ps 2:5 Rev 7:14 and the approach and destruction of the Gentile host under the Beast. Dan 7:8 Rev 19:20. Is. 11. immediately follows with its glorious picture of the kingdom-age. Precisely the same order is found in Rev 19., 20. (See "Kingdom," O.T., Gen 1:26-28 Zech 12:8 N.T. Lk 1:31-33 1Cor 15:28. Also See Scofield Note: "Mt 3:2" See Scofield Note: "Mt 6:33".

That nothing of this occurred at the first coming of Christ is evident from a comparison of the history of the times of Christ with this and all the other parallel prophecies. Song far from regathering dispersed Israel and establishing peace in the earth, His crucifixion was soon followed (A.D. 70) by the destruction of Jerusalem, and the utter scattering of the Palestinian Jews amongst the nations.

[2] shall come forth a rod

This chapter is a prophetic picture of the glory of the future kingdom. This is the kingdom announced by John Baptist as "at hand." It was then rejected, but will be set up when David's Son returns in glory Lk 1:31,32 Acts 15:15,16.

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
