Isaiah 2:2-4,

2. It will happen in the end of days: The mountain of the Temple of HASHEM will be firmly established as the head of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills, and all the nations will stream to it. 3. Many peoples will go and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the Mountain of HASHEM, to the Temple of the God of Jacob, and He will teach us of His ways and we will walk in His paths.’ 4. He will judge among the nations, and will settle the arguments of many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift sword against nation and they will no longer study warfare.

Isaiah 11:1-5,

1. A staff will emerge from the stump of Jesse and a shoot will sprout from his roots. 2. The spirit of HASHEM will rest upon him – a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and strength, a spirit o knowledge and fear of HASHEM. 3. He will be imbued with a spirit of fear for HASHEM; and will not need to judge by what his eyes see nor decide by what his ears hear. 4. He will judge the destitute with righteousness, and decide with fairness for the humble of the earth. He will strike [the wicked of] the world with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. 5. Righteousness will be the girdle round his loins, and faith will be the girdle round his waist.

Isaiah 11:10,

It shall be on that day that the descendant of Jesse who stands as a banner for the peoples, nations will seek him, and his resting place will be glorious.

Isaiah 42:1-4,

1. Behold My servant,* whom I shall uphold; My chosen one, whom My soul desired; I have placed My spirit upon him so he can bring forth justice to the nations. 2. He will not shout* nor raise his voice, nor make his voice heard in the street. 3. He will not break [even] a bruised reed nor extinguish even flickering flax; but he will administer justice in truth. 4. He will not slacken nor tire until he sets justice in the land and islands will long for his teaching.

*v.1, Behold My servant – The Messiah (Targum).

*v.2, He will not shout – He will be accepted by all and will have no need to proclaim his judgments loudly or demonstrate his power (Radak).

 

Jeremiah 23:5-6,

5. Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, when I will set up of David a righteous shoot, and he shall reign a king and prosper, and he shall perform judgment and righteousness in the land. 6. In his days, Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is his name that he shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.

Jeremiah 30:7-10,

7. Ho! For that day is great, with none like it, and it is a time of distress for Jacob, through which he shall be saved. 8. And it shall be on that day, says the Lord of Hosts, [that] I will break his yoke off your neck, and I will break your thongs, and strangers shall no longer enslave them. 9. And they shall serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will set up for them. 10. And you, fear not, My servant Jacob, says the Lord, and do not be dismayed, O Israel, for behold I save you from afar and your seed from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall again be silent and at ease, and no one will frighten them.

Jeremiah 33:14-18,

14. Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, and I will establish the good thing that I spoke concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15. In those days and in that time I will cause to grow for David a plant of righteousness, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16. In those days, Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely and this is the name that He shall call it, the Lord is our righteousness. 17. For so said the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel. 18. And of the Levitic priests, there shall not be cut off from before Me a man offering up a burnt offering, or burning a meal-offering or performing a sacrifice for all time.

 

Ezekiel 37:24-28,

My servant David shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall follow My ordinances and be careful to observe My statutes. They shall live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, in which your ancestors lived; they and their children and their children’s children shall live there forever. And My servant David shall be their prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will bless them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forevermore. My dwelling place shall be with them; I will be their G-d and they shall be My people. Then shall the nations know that I the L-rd, sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever-more.

Ezekiel 34:23-31,

 

 

Zechariah 9:9-10,

9. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem! For behold, your king will come to you, righteous and victorious is he, a humble man riding upon a donkey,* upon a foal, a calf of she-donkeys. 10. I will eliminate any [battle]-chariot from Ephraim and any [war] horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of warfare will be eliminated; and he will speak peace to the nations. his dominion will be from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth.

*v.9, a humble man riding upon a donkey – The Messiah will be a humble man riding on a donkey rather than on an ostentatious horse (Rashi).

V 9: «Behold your king will come to you.» Rashi on this verse states: «It is impossible to interpret this in any other way except as a reference to King Mashiah because it says of him below ‘and his dominion will be from sea to sea’ (v 10), and we do not find any such ruler of Israel in the days of the Second Temple «. This verse is the source of the well known conception that Mashiach comes as a poor man riding a donkey. Rashi renders ‘ANI («poor») as ANVETHAN, one of great humility. «He rides on a donkey not because of any lack on his part, for the whole world will be at his disposal. Rather he will ride on a donkey out of humility, and also to show that Israel will have no more need for horses and chariots, as the next verse goes on to say» (Metzudas David). Significantly, in verse 9 Mashiah is not called a SAVIOR but rather, ONE WHO HAS BEEN SAVED (VE-NOSHA’), indicating that the true future Redeemer be not a man of flesh and blood but God alone.

V 10: «And I will cut off chariots from Ephraim and horses from Jerusalem.» Besides prophesying that the Ten Tribes (=Ephraim) will return, this verse also teaches that God «will put an end to chariots and horses and the bow of war, for there will be no war then and no need for bows and arrows or chariots and horses» (Metzudas David) [or tanks, missiles, cluster bombs etc. etc.] «.And he will speak PEACE to the nations» – «King Mashiah will subdue the nations not through war but through the words of peace he will speak to them, through which they will submit themselves to his influence» (Metzudas).

«And his dominion will be from sea to sea.» Metzudas David, Ibn Ezra and RaDaK state that these seas are «the southern sea» and the «northern sea, which is the ocean». This suggests a far more encompassing definition of Mashiah’s sphere of influence than the area that falls within the boundaries of the Promised Land, «from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines (=Mediterranean)» (Exodus 23:31). Mashiah will not merely be a local Jewish phenomenon: he will hold sway to the very ends of the earth! [KnowYourBible, Azamara.org]

Daniel 7:13-14,

13. I was watching in night visions and behold! with the clouds of heaven, one like a man came; he came up to the One of Ancient Days, and they brought him before Him. 14.
