“On a bare hill raise a signal flag, shout to them, wave your hand, so they might enter the gates of the princes!” Isaiah‬ ‭“All you who live in the world, who reside on the earth, you will see a signal flag raised on the mountains; you will hear a trumpet being blown.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭“At that time a root from Jesse will stand like a signal flag for the nations. Nations will look to him for guidance, and his residence (Resting Place menû·ḥāṯ) will be majestic (כָּבוֹד kā·ḇôḏ heaviness, burden; riches; reputation, importance; glory, splendor; distinction, honor; testimonial). At that time the sovereign master will again (second time X2M) lift his hand to reclaim the remnant of his people from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the seacoasts.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭11‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭M - STANDARD MILLENNIAL MONARCH We have quoted Isaiah Several times elsewhere Isaiah speaks of the Glory-Spirit as the banner. In Isaiah 31, the Lord’s descent over Zion for the defense of Jerusalem is compared to birds in flight (vss. 4f.) [1and he is pictured as a flaming ensign (nes) from which the enemy princes flee in panic (vs. 9). In Isaiah 49, after a promise to give the servant as a light, to whom those in darkness will come from afar (vss. 5-9), God further promises: “I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles and set up my standard (nissi’) to the people” (vs. 22a). As a result, the sons and daughters of Zion will be brought home from the lands of the Gentiles, as a prey rescued from the oppressors (vss. 22b-26). The hand-standard of verse 22 and the servant-light of verse 6 accomplish the same mission of world-wide ingathering and are to be identified, so that here, as in Isaiah 11, the messianic servant is seen as himself the Glory-light-banner.A similar picture appears in Isaiah 59. “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him” (vs. 19b). The image of the standard belongs here to a military scene that finds the Lord arrayed as the divine warrior, bringing vengeance on his enemies (vss. 17f.). According to verse 19a, the standard raised by the Spirit (vs. 19b) is the theophanic cloud (the Spirit himself), for it is denoted “the Name” and “the Glory.” The use of the Name designation of the theophanic cloud is apt in a context where it is depicted as a standard, for such a military banner in Israel would be inscribed with God’s name. Here again the figure of the messianic redeemer is brought into conjunction with the Glory-standard (vs. 20). And the effect of the raising of the Glory-sign is again to inspire the fear of God from east to west (vs. 19a). The banner will be a radiant gathering point, drawing Zion’s far-off sons and daughters from among the Gentiles (Isa. Kline Meredith G. 1978. Primal Parousia.
