Talmud (Sanh. 98a): Son of David comes after purging of judges
Purified for Judgment
Isaiah prophesied God purifying His people by removing all dross.
Old Testament
Isaiah 1:25
I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities.
New Testament
Matthew 25:31
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.
Why This Matters
Isaiah prophesied God purifying His people by removing all dross. Jesus revealed that He would come in glory to separate and purify — the final judgment that removes every impurity from God's kingdom.
Reflection
Lord, the kingdom You promised in Isaiah 1:25 is breaking in through Matthew 25:31. Make me a faithful citizen of that kingdom today.
