Part of The Light Has Come

December 7, 2025

Darkness is OPPRESSIVE. 

—Isaiah 9:2 

. —Isaiah 9:3-7 

1. Wonderful Counselor: God’s wisdom guides perfectly. Imagine a king who never makes mistakes, always leading with insight and righteousness. 
2. Mighty God (El Gibbor): God’s strength is unmatched. He is unstoppable against any enemy. 
3. Everlasting Father: God cares for His people tenderly and eternally. Unlike earthly fathers who fail or die, His care is unending. 
4. Prince of Peace: Shalom is more than absence of conflict. It is wholeness, restoration, and completeness in every area of life—justice, mercy, and security.

The Light Is JESUS 

 —Daniel 2:44 

—Matthew 4:16-17 

Jesus FULFILLS the PROMISE 


 —Isaiah 60:1-3 

• Global Scope: The prophecy points beyond Israel. Nations will be drawn to this Light. Darkness will be overcome. 
• Jesus’ Ministry: People from all walks of life—Jew and Gentile—were drawn to Him. He healed, taught, overturned oppressive systems, and drew the nations to Himself. 
• Revelation 21 Connection: In the New Jerusalem, “the Lamb is its lamp, illuminating everything forever.”2 “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, 
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, 
from you shall come forth for me 
one who is to be ruler in Israel, 
whose coming forth is from of old, 
from ancient days. 
3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time 
when she who is in labor has given birth; 
then the rest of his brothers shall return 
to the people of Israel. 
4 And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, 
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. 
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great 
to the ends of the earth.” 
5 And he shall be their peace. —Micah 5:2-5 

—Daniel 7:9 

13 “I saw in the night visions, 
and behold, with the clouds of heaven 
there came one like a son of man, 
and he came to the Ancient of Days 
and was presented before him.” —Daniel 7:13 

22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom. —Daniel 7:22 

The Lamb and the Shepherd 
• The Lamb: Vulnerable, sacrificial, aligning with God’s redemptive plan. 
• The Shepherd: Tender, guiding, protective, caring for His flock.

The Messiah is both LAMB and SHEPHERD 

…and He shall be our PEACE 

THE THREAD OF PROPHECY - ONE LIGHT MANY CENTURIES 

• Isaiah 9: Light shines, a King is promised.

THE HEART OF GOD IN PROPHECY 

1. God intentionally enters darkness. Nothing intimidates Him—your fears, grief, sin, hopelessness.
2. God speaks His promises as if already done. The prophetic perfect shows His Word is alive and unstoppable.
3. Jesus is not just a light — He is YOUR light. Eternal, personal, restoring, guiding, protecting.
4. Prophecy shows God’s heart. He wants you to trust, to follow, to step into the Light.

The Light Of Prophecy Is HOPE and CERTAINTY
