10. Point 1 “Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,    to the temple of the God of Jacob.He will teach us his ways,    so that we may walk in his paths.”The law will go out from Zion,    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.He will judge between the nations    and will settle disputes for many peoples.They will beat their swords into plowshares    and their spears into pruning hooks.Nation will not take up sword against nation,    nor will they train for war anymore.” Isaiah 2:3-4

11. Point 1 The wolf will live with the lamb,    the leopard will lie down with the goat,the calf and the lion and the yearling together;    and a little child will lead them.The cow will feed with the bear,    their young will lie down together,    and the lion will eat straw like the ox.The infant will play near the cobra’s den,    and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.They will neither harm nor destroy    on all my holy mountain,for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord    as the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:6-9

12. Point 1 “We hear the cries from our strife-torn streets: “Give peace a chance!” and “Can’t we all just get along?” But you cannot give peace a chance if that is all you give a chance. You have to do things that make peace possible and actual. When you listen to people talk about peace, you soon realize in most cases that they are unwilling to deal with the conditions of society and soul that make strife inevitable. They want to keep them and still have peace, but its peace on their terms, which is impossible. And we can’t all just get along. Rather, we have to become the kinds of persons who can get along.” Dallas Willard

13. Point 1 “A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.” Isaiah 11:1

14. Point 1 “The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him.” Isaiah 11:2

15. Point 1 “the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord— and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.” Isaiah 11:2

16. Point 1 “He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.” Isaiah 11:3-4
