“Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, and He will establish it with justice and righteousness from that time forward and forever—a promise of eschatological permanence and comprehensive transformation. The contrast between the temporary and limited duration of human kingdoms and the endless perpetuity of God's kingdom emphasizes the qualitative difference between human and divine rule. This verse grounds hope in the absolute reliability of God's character (justice and righteousness) rather than in the strength of human institutions.
