Description
As the season of Advent deepens, we hear the promise of Isaiah; coming to an ancient people when the rubble of war is still on the ground. The promise—a just and wise and righteous ruler, a renewal of the line of King David, a future in which there is unity and peace. The images come in a diptych: on one side the shining messianic ruler and the other great image of a peaceable kingdom where predator and prey live together without harm and a little child leads the world. As year succeeds to year, I wonder, how does this promise speak to us "betwixt and between" Advent and the End of Days?
