Introduction
Deliverance from Jesse’s Shoot ch. 11
This section gives the positive side of the deliverance of God’s people, that is to come, in contrast to the negative side (Isaiah 10:5-34). God would put Assyria down, but the Messiah would lift Israel up by serving her ideally. The messianic hope, introduced at various points earlier in this major section (chs. 7-12), comes to full flower in chapter 11 (cf. Isaiah 7:14; Isa 8:23-9:6). Having promised Him, Isaiah now presented Messiah as ruling.
