Isaiah 12:4
And in that day you will say:
“Praise the Lord, call upon His name;
Declare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His name is exalted.
Application:
Isaiah 11:6-16, Even the animal kingdom will be renewed in Christ’s millennial kingdom, and creatures now considered predator and prey will be at peace with one another (11:6–9). Also, God will initiate a “second exodus,” bringing the Jews back to Israel from their lands of exile (11:11–12). All of this will take place in that day because the land will be as full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is filled with water (11:9).
Given the hostility between Judah and Israel in Isaiah’s day, this prophecy of reunification must have sounded impossible to Isaiah’s readers. Nevertheless, the reestablished nation will appear in the kingdom age and defeat its enemies (11:13–14). God will divide the Gulf of Suez and wave his hand over the Euphrates (11:15) so that his people can return easily, just as he dried up the Red Sea when the Israelites departed Egypt (11:16).
The final chapter in this section is a song of praise for what God will do when Israel meets her King and acknowledges Him at His second coming, when He establishes His kingdom. On that day, the Lord’s anger will be turned away as he becomes the salvation of his chosen people (12:1–3). There will be singing and rejoicing when the Holy One of Israel lives among and rules over them (12:6).

When God inspires me, I write blogs. Consider this writing as a Bible study. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures to determine whether what I write is so. Always consult with your church ministers about biblical matters. I am also not a professional writer, so some grammar or spelling errors may be present. I try my best to write as efficiently as possible. Your brother in Christ, Ricardo
