Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 9:7

7 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 .

His peaceable and happy Government shall be enlarged without end: either, without end of duration, for ever▪ [illegible: 1+ letters]ut that is expressed in a following Clause of this Verse: or▪ without end of limitation, or without Bounds. It shall not be confined to a narrow spot of Ground, the Land of Canaan, but shall be extended far and wide to all the end of the Earth.

Which was promised to David, and to his Seed for ever

Not with Oppression and Tyranny, by which other Kingdoms are commonly managed, but by the Administration of Justice.

From the beginning of it, unto all Eternity,

This great Work, which surpasseth all the Power and Skill of Men, shall be brought to pass by Almighty God, out of that fervent Affection which he hath to his own Name and Glory, and to the Honour of his dearly beloved Son, and unto his Church and People.
