Isaiah 9:8
Compare all
6 aFor unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a bSon is given;
And cthe government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
dWonderful, Counselor, eMighty God,
Everlasting Father, fPrince of Peace. 
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
aThere will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The bzeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. 

The Punishment of Samaria

8 The Lord sent a word against aJacob,
And it has fallen on Israel. 
9 All the people will know—
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria—
Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”
11 Therefore the Lord shall set up
The adversaries of Rezin against him,
And spur his enemies on,
12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is1 stretched out still. 
13 For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them,
Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts.
14 Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel,
Palm branch and bulrush ain one day. 
15 The elder and honorable, he is the head;
The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 For athe leaders of this people cause them to err,
And those who are led by them are destroyed. 
17 Therefore the Lord awill have no joy in their young men,
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
And every mouth speaks1 folly.
bFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still. 
18 For wickedness aburns as the fire;
It shall devour the briers and thorns,
And kindle in the thickets of the forest;
They shall mount up like rising smoke.

Isaiah 9:8-16

Many of you who are familiar with Jonathan Kahn's book, The Harbinger, and his interpretation of these verses, know how he applied them to the terror attack of the World Trade Center and the prideful arrogancy of the people that followed from modern Israel.

Some of them seem to fit, but the bottom line is throughout Isaiah 9:10 and 11, you will find a great deal of prophecy. But the overall lesson that I want us to hold on to from all of this is everything that happens is ultimately under the absolute sovereign work of the Creator, moving the whole creation towards the end of the perfect unity within the God Family.
