"And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek; and his rest shall be glorious(Is.11:10)." Wisdom of God is here set up as an ensign; and it was in Solomon and also points out,'in that day, which in the parlance of the Spirit refers to the day of the Lord. The ensign stands for something else. The people refers to the church redeemed from the earth are signs and wonders. It refers to King Solomon which is specific but foreshadows the Millennial reign of the Messiah. As a clue we shall consider this clause, 'to it (the ensign) shall the Gentiles seek.' Who are the Gentiles in the case of King Solomon? Here is a verse from the next chapter, "And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David(5:1)".
Verse 25 given below is a foretaste of the Millennial reign: "And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon(v.25)".
"And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore./And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt(vv. 29-30)".
And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom(v.34).
'And there came of all people' including Queen Sheba (10:1) to with our Savior Lord alluded,"The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here(Matt.12:42)". Wisdom of Solomon that we are considering is of man called to be double for the Son.
