Jesus of Nazareth grew up in Galilee, and He spent most of His earthly life there.
So Joseph got up and returned to the land of Israel with Jesus and his mother. But when he learned that the new ruler of Judea was Herod’s son Archelaus, he was afraid to go there. Then, after being warned in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee. So the family went and lived in a town called Nazareth. This fulfilled what the prophets had said: “He will be called a Nazarene.” (Matthew 2:21-22 NLT)
The Holy Spirit inspired Isaiah to prophesy that Galilee would be glorified because the Messiah would come from Galilee. This was His first incarnation; His life among us in a human body about 2,000 years ago. Jesus will return in the Second Coming, and He will rule ever afterward.
Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever. The land of Zebulun and Naphtali will be humbled, but there will be a time in the future when Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with glory...
For a child is born to us,
a
son is given to us.
The
government will rest on his shoulders.
And
he will be called:
Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace.
His
government and its peace
will
never end.
He
will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David
for
all eternity.
The
passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies
will
make this happen!
(Isaiah 9:1 and 6-7 NLT) *
