The coming kingdom portrayed in picturesque, figurative kingdom oracles in the book of Isaiah entails a glorious future. In an undefined time in the future (Isa 2:1: 9.1). God's people, having suffered just judgment for their covenant unfaithfulness (Isa 1:2-24; 27:7-11; 31:6-9), will turn again to God in repentance and will be called back from their places of exile around the world to be restored to their own land in a kind of ultimate exodus (Isa 2:1-4; 4:4; 11:11-12; 27:12-13; 30:18-19; 32:16-18: 35:10; 41:8-9; 43:5-7, 11-17; 49:9-13; 52:11-12). This restoration will be through the enthronement of the anointed and Spirit-empowered king in Jerusalem -the ultimate Servant of the Lord -who will rule with justice, righteousness, peace, and equity, along with a plurality of rulers reigning with him (Isa 2:4; 9:6-7; 11:1-16 16:4-5: 32:1; 42:1; 52:13; 53:1-12: 60:15-18). -Micheal Svigel, The Fathers on the Future, p.67
