4, 5. (a) How are the peace and security of those who are brought into the spiritual paradise described in Isaiah 32:1, 2, 17, 18? (b) In the fulfillment of this prophecy, who are the “princes” mentioned, and how do they contribute to the restful conditions of the paradise?

⁴ The peace and security that these now experience under the Messianic kingdom are picturesquely described in Isaiah 32:1, 2, 17, 18, in these words: “Look! A king will reign for righteousness itself; and as respects princes, they will rule as princes for justice itself.

⁵ Those on earth who correspond to the “princes” here described are not any “princes of the Church” in Christendom. They are the “elders,” the appointed “overseers” of the more than thirty-five thousand congregations of Jehovah’s delivered and restored people. As they are directly responsible to the heavenly King, Jesus the Messiah, they wisely carry on their shepherd-like care of the flock “for justice itself.” In this way they contribute to the peace, quietness, trustworthiness and security of the spiritual paradise into which Jehovah has brought his restored worshipers since the year 1919 C.E.
