Isaiah 11 talks about the promise of the emergence of a descendant of Jesse, father of King David, who will bring justice and peace to the world. This descendant, known as the Messiah, will have the Lord's Spirit upon himself and will rule with wisdom and power. The verses related to the topics addressed in Isaiah 11 are:
Jeremiah 23:5: "Behold, days, the Lord says, in which I will raise a righteous renewal; and King who is, will reign, and prosper, and will practice judgment and justice on earth." This verse talks about the coming of the Messiah, which will be a righteous descendant of David and will rule with justice and wisdom.
Matthew 3:16-17: "And being Jesus baptized, it came out of the water, and behold, the heavens were opened, and saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon him. And behold, a voice of heaven said : This is my beloved son, whom I buy myself. " These verses show the fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah 11:2, which speaks about the Spirit of the Lord resting upon the Messiah.
Matthew 12:17-21: "that what has been said by the prophet Isaiah, who says, Here is my servant, which I chose, my beloved, in whom my soul is client; , and will announce to the Gentiles the judgment. It will not contend, nor cry, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. He will not crush the cane broken, nor erases the crowd that smokes, until the Judgment will win. And in his name the Gentiles will wait . " These verses show how Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 42:1-4, who speaks about the servant of the Lord, who will bring justice to the nations.
John 14:26: "But that comforter, the Holy Spirit, which the Father shall send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I have told you." This verse talks about the Holy Spirit, which Jesus promised to send to his disciples after his death and resurrection, to guide them throughout the truth.
Romans 15:12: "And again says Isaiah, there will be the root of Jesse, the one who rises to reign over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will wait." This verse quotes Isaiah 11:10 and shows how the coming of the Messiah was expected not only by the Jews, but also by the Gentiles, who placed their hope in Him.
