Isaiah 28:14-29
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rye in their place? For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
Tim Keller
Christ’s liberating rule is not fully here. All his disciples are to pray for it to come, and at the end of time we will receive it in completion. But finally the day comes when the city of God will descend. It contains the throne of God – the seat of the kingdom – from which the renewal of all things proceeds. This is the ecstatic enthronement depicted in Psalms 96-98. When God returns to rule, even the rivers will clap their hands and the mountains will sing for joy that their liberator has finally come. The freedom and joy of the kingdom of heaven will come to earth.
