1. The righteous and just kingdom (1-8)

God will judge the earth, and defeat all enemies. He will establish a king who will reign in righteousness and rulers who are just. They will be like shelter and refuge to those in a storm, and water and shade to those in the heat. The people of that kingdom will no longer reject God's truth, but know and understand his words. Wicked scoundrels will be rejected, and noble plans and deeds will stand. This looks to David's kingdom in the past, and forward to the kingdom of God, where Jesus is our King of righteousness. Come Lord Jesus!

2. Till the Spirit is poured on us (9-20)

Women were often powerless in that world of men, and could become complacent and secure. But then and now their prayer is so needed! Isaiah called them to act, as the devastation drew near. But he gives a beautiful promise of hope: The Lord will pour out his Spirit and we will be blessed with peace, confidence and fruitfulness.
