Isaiah’s future hope: the 1st & 2nd coming of Christ.
Having described Jerusalem’s decadence and its self-inflicted woes, God’s voice through Isaiah his mouthpiece, calls Jerusalem a wayward woman. Albeit, the prophet sees Jerusalem through the eyes of the distant future. He encompasses both the First Advent and the Second Coming of Christ (the Second Advent) to planet Earth. Prior to the second advent he foresees the apocalyptic judgment of Earth by a wrathful God acting in vengeance for its endemic wickedness and rejection of his entreaties offering merciful forgiveness to genuine penitents. Whether from prophets, apostles, evangelists or saints the resistance was impenetrable.
Immanuel, Christ would first come as a Lamb, and then return at the end of the age as King of Kings to rule and reign with a rod of iron from Zion. The millennial reign of Jesus Christ would be from Jerusalem where he is due to return on the Mount of Olives, from which he ascended not Galilee as the 4th C amended Matthew 26; 28; Mark 14; & 16 purport. As Luke, John, and Acts declare: His passion, resurrection, and ascension was not from Galilee’s unnamed mountain, but Jerusalem near Bethany on the Mt. Olivet. The major prophets and the minor prophets agree with John and Luke that the second advent return of Immanuel will be to Jerusalem. Importantly and precisely Zechariah 14 correlates with Luke where (in Acts 1) before the apostles the angel heralds the eventual returning descent of Christ to the very same Mount of Olives. This made the apostles of Christ beholden to proclaim that same message as harbingers of the Second Coming.
