Isaiah 11:10

Israel is Reclaimed and Reunited

11:10 At that time¹ a root from Jesse² will stand like a signal flag for the nations. Nations will look to him for guidance,³ and his residence will be majestic.

Romans 15:12-13

15:12 And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in him will the Gentiles hope.”⁴ 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in him,⁵ so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 1:12-13

1:12 so that we, who were the first to set our hope⁶ on Christ,⁷ would be to the praise of his glory. 1:13 And when⁸ you heard the word of truth (the gospel of your salvation) – when you believed in Christ⁹ – you were marked with the seal¹⁰ of the promised Holy Spirit,¹¹

Colossians 1:27

1:27 God wanted to make known to them the glorious¹² riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
