Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 11:2
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
2. Spirit of the Lord —JEHOVAH. The Spirit by which the prophets spake: for Messiah was to be a Prophet ( Isaiah 61:1 ; Deuteronomy 18:15 ; Deuteronomy 18:18 ). Seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are specified, to imply that the perfection of them was to be in Him. Compare "the seven Spirits" ( Revelation 1:4 ), that is, the Holy Ghost in His perfect fulness: seven being the sacred number. The prophets had only a portion out of the " fulness " in the Son of God ( John 1:16 ; John 3:34 ; Colossians 1:19 ). rest —permanently; not merely come upon Him ( Numbers 11:25 ; Numbers 11:26 ). wisdom — ( 1 Corinthians 1:30 ; Ephesians 1:17 ; Colossians 2:3 ). understanding —coupled with "wisdom," being its fruit. Discernment and discrimination ( Matthew 22:18 ; John 2:25 ). counsel . . . might —the faculty of forming counsels, and that of executing them ( Isaiah 28:29 ). Counsellor ( Isaiah 28:29- : ). knowledge —of the deep things of God ( Matthew 11:27 ). The knowledge of Him gives us true knowledge ( Matthew 11:27- : ). fear of the Lord —reverential, obedient fear. The first step towards true "knowledge" ( Job 28:28 ; Psalms 111:10 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
