Isaiah 9:7 (New Living Translation)
His government and its peace
will never end.
He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David
for all eternity.
The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
will make this happen!
This is describing the coming government of the…
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Good economy? Secure borders? Those aren’t mentioned. Fairness (many translations use “righteous” or being right by God) and Justice.
Those are oft repeated descriptions of good governing. I guess we don’t talk about those things much anymore. Plus, not many folks seem to like the definitions of fair and just given in the Bible. How times have changed, or have they?
