    Is.42:6 "The People's covenant" (2 of 2)

    "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God." (Re.21:2-3) Isaiah refers to a covenant of the people for a light unto the Gentiles. It is called the light of the Lamb for the saved nations on the earth. (Re.21:23-24)"

    Isaiah presents Jesus Christ as Son of man who set things right and as a judge his earthly ministry showed him that he would not not be in their petty quarrels or culture wars. For instance he asked, "And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?"( Luke 12:13-15) His parables were indirectly addressed to open their mind as to God's ways. Their nationalism were as misbegotten as we have today hatched by the devil. God sent his Son and "He shall bring forth judgment unto truth./He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth:"(Is.32:3-4)

    Here we have a list of things for Jesus Christ to do such as "To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."(42:7). Of the parables Separation of goats from sheep is left to the Man component, "Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as theLord's servant?/Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not."(42:19-23) When he judges he shall not as the Word made flesh but as the Lord of lords and king of kings. "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:/And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:"(Matt.25:31-32)

    Separation of light from darkness has its judgement as well as 'justice done' part.
