“A Light To The Gentiles, A New Covenant The World."
Reference: Isaiah Chapter 42
The first Adam was the old covenant. The second Adam is the new covenant. When the first Adam broke the old covenant, he put the whole world in darkness under the dominion of Satan. The second Adam is the Light to the world. He draws men and women out from the dominion of Satan.
Isaiah writes.
Let's read.
Isaiah 42:1 "Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles."
Jesus Christ, the second Adam, is God in Spirit and man in flesh. The fullness of the Spirit of God was in Him.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 42:2-5 "He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. [3] A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. [4] He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. [5] Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:"
He gives breath unto the people. It's the breath of life, the life which is in the blood. He also gives spirit to the people. This is the spiritual light. This is the image of God in man or woman.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 42:6 "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles."
He is the new covenant. He is a replacement of the old covenant that was broken in the first Adam. The new covenant is the Light, not just to the Gentiles but to the whole world. We enter into this new covenant by placing our faith in the blood of the second Adam, the blood that was shed for the whole world on Calvary's cross.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 42:7 "To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."
The world is imprisoned in the blood of the first Adam, blinded by Satan, captives of sin. The work of the cross allows man to die out of the blood of the first Adam. This is how blinded eyes are opened. This is how man escapes the prison of the blood of the first Adam.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 42:8-10 "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. [9] Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. [10] Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof."
Because of the new covenant, we can now sing unto the Lord a new song, a song of praise, a song of thanksgiving. We have been saved out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. We have been saved from the broken old covenant into the blessed new covenant.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 42:11-16 "Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. [12] Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands. [13] The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. [14] I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. [15] I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. [16] And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them."
Salvation brings the blind to a way that he or she knew not. Salvation makes darkness light. Salvation straightens out crooked paths. Salvation is of the Lord and is found in the blood of the second Adam.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 42:17-20 "They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. [18] Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. [19] 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 the LORD'S servant? [20] Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not."
Israel in blindness stood next to the Messiah, the second Adam, the Giver of the new covenant, but Israel could not see. He spoke to them, but they could not hear. We can only hear Him and see Him through our spiritual light of faith.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 42:21-24 "The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. [22] But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. [23] Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? [24] Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law."
Israel would not walk in His way. His way is the way of the new covenant, the way of the second Adam, the way of the new blood, the way of Jesus Christ.
We conclude our reading.
Isaiah 42:25 "Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart."
This burning fire is not just around Israel, but any man or woman who remains yet in the blood of the first Adam. The only way out is to turn on our light, our spiritual light of faith, and place it in the blood of the second Adam.
Come out of the blood of the first Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. The light to the world, in Christ!

[4] He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. [5] Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:"
He gives breath unto the people. It's the breath of life, the life which is in the blood. He also gives spirit to the people. This is the spiritual light. This is the image of God in man or woman.
We continue our reading.
Isaiah 42:6 "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles."
He is the new covenant. He is a replacement of the old covenant that was broken in the first Adam. The new covenant is the Light, not just to the Gentiles but to the whole world.

The world is imprisoned in the blood of the first Adam, blinded by Satan, captives of sin. The work of the cross allows man to die out of the blood of the first Adam. This is how blinded eyes are opened. This is how man escapes the prison of the blood of the first Adam.

[24] Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law."
Israel would not walk in His way. His way is the way of the new covenant, the way of the second Adam, the way of the new blood, the way of Jesus Christ.

Come out of the blood of the first Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. The light to the world, in Christ!
