"And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust."
Firstly instead of "gentiles" the grk says "nations" (grk ethne). And instead of "trust" it says "hope" (grk elpiousin).
Which is that reign? A literal reign of Jesus with Israel, as some believe? Or as it seems that it talks about a spiritual kingdom where the other nations really put their hope on Him (for salvation).
And it goes on in verse 13, thus giving a certainty about which is that kingdom.
"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."
