The Righteous Descendant
“For the time is coming,” says the Lord, ‘when I will raise up a righteous descendant from King David’s line. He will do what is just and right throughout the land. And all this will be in His name: ‘The Lord is Our Righteousness.’In that day Judah will be saved, and Israel will live safety.”
“In that day,”says the Lord, “when people are taking an oath, they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who rescued the people of Israel from the land of Egypt. Instead, they will say,’ As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the people of Israel back to their own land from the land of the north and from all the countries to which He had exiled them.: They will live in their own land.”‘ (vv. 5-8, NLT)
