The question is whether God also revealed the family from which the Messiah would come. God chose David (Sayedna Dawoud) and made a covenant with him. In many prophecies God shows that the Messiah would come from the family of the prophet David. The prophet Isaiah, who lived more than two hundred years after David, likens the family of Jesse to the stump of a tree. David's father was called Jesse. From that family would come one on whom the Spirit of the Lord would rest. He would bring justice to the poor of the earth. He would create a kingdom like paradise itself, and everyone in that kingdom would know the Lord. Isaiah writes:
Nebi Ishacyaah, kan nolaa laba boqol oo sanadood Da’uud ka hore, wuxuu qoyska Jese u ekeysiyay sida kurtun geed. Da’uud aabbahiis waxaa la odhan jiray Jese. Qoyskaas waxaa ka imaani doono kan uu ruuxa qoduuska ah ku kor degi doono. Oo wuxuu hagaajin doonaa boqotooyada u eg jannada nafteeda, oo mid alla kii boqortooyadas ku jiro wuu ogaani doonaa Rabbiga. Ayuu Ishacyaah qoray: “Oo jiridda Yesay biqil baa ka soo biqli doona, oo xididdadiisana laan baa ka soo dhalan doonta, oo waxaa ku dul joogi doona Ruuxa Rabbiga oo ah ruuxa xigmadda iyo waxgarashada, iyo ruuxa talada iyo xoogga, iyo ruuxa aqoonta iyo ka cabsashada Rabbiga. Laakiin masaakiinta wuxuu ugu gar qaybin doonaa xaqnimo, oo dhulka kuwiisa hooseeyana wuxuu ugu gar gooyn doonaa caddaalad, oo wuxuu dhulka ku dhufan doonaausha afkiisa, oo kan sharka lehna wuu ku dili doonaa feefta bushimihiisa.
