Isaiah 11:9. “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.”
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD. The evidence will be there for all the world to see - Messiah's reign will finally bring peace to come to pass. What God had intended to share with man will come to be - When the Branch grows up from Jesse's root, earth will know at last The blessings of justice from the Righteous One sitting on David's throne. Everyone all over the world will know Jehovah reigns. The time mankind has been searching for really will have come - Young and old alike will know the power of Jesus' name.
Kings and rulers, rich and poor – every human being Will have the knowledge of the Lord which presently is rejected. In this future time all over the world people will be seeing - Evidence of the Christ's power and glory which they had long neglected. The animal creation will be turned back to God's original intention - Every creature miraculously tamed and subject to man's control. All aspects of human living will experience divine intervention - And the knowledge of the Lord will reach to every human soul.
There never has been since Adam's fall such awareness of the Lord. Man has gone his own way, only a few returned to find The peace and knowledge of the Lord amidst the turmoil of the world - But in the day that's coming, that knowledge will be in every mind. Many will rejoice when they find the world so blessed - They will honor and worship the Lord from open and true hearts. Others will acquiesce when righteousness on them is passed - But inwardly, in spite of such knowledge, their sinful souls will smart.
When the nations will finally have laid their arms down to live in peace The world will prosper and earth will bring from its bounty all we need. The conflicts that drain us so dry at present will finally cease - And from the abundance the grace of God supplies, every soul will feed. The knowledge of the Lord that God has already given, and the blessings it brings Even now, though it is not universal, gives rest and joy to us who believe. We have every day, a foretaste of the time when the world sings The praises of Messiah, for the knowledge of Him we have received.
“O Lord God: I do identify with Paul when he said, 'That I might know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being made conformable unto His death.' I thank Thee for this knowledge I have at least in a little degree. Please give me this day the knowledge to know what to say to those who need to know the Lord as their personal Savior. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
