also he will completely restore The House of Israel.
The complete division between the righteous and the wicked will come with
the Lord's end-time servant.
2 Nephi 30
These verses are from Isaiah and are talking about the
Lord's end-time servant.
The Davidic servant - marred servant.
Righteousness, rod, mouth, sword, arrow, breath and lips, arm, hand or ensign
are all metaphors for Jehovah’s end-time servant.
9 And with righteousness shall the Lord God judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
10 For the time speedily cometh that the Lord God shall cause a great division among the people, and the wicked will he destroy; and he will spare his people, yea, even if it so be that he must destroy the wicked by fire.
11 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
12 And then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb; and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf, and the young lion, and the fatling, together; and a little child shall lead them.
Isaiah 11
3 His intuition will be guided
by the fear of Jehovah;
he will not judge by what his eyes see,
nor establish proof by what his ears hear.
4 He will judge the poor with righteousness,
and with equity arbitrate for the lowly in the land;
he will smite the earth with the rod of his mouth
and with the breath of his lips slay the wicked.
5 Righteousness will be as a band about his waist,
faithfulness a girdle round his loins.
Although Jehovah’s servant is still the subject of the passage, in the context of Jehovah’s millennial reign of peace (vv 2-9) several candidates exist for those who “judge.” First is Israel’s God: “Jehovah is our Judge, and Jehovah our Lawgiver” (Isaiah 33:22). Second is Jehovah’s servant: “In loving kindness shall a throne be set up in the abode of David, and in faithfulness a judge sit on it who will maintain justice and expedite righteousness” (Isaiah 16:5). And third are Jehovah’s millennial judges: “I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as in the beginning” (Isaiah 1:26).
Because the servant is a forerunner to Jehovah’s coming to reign on the earth, the roles of Jehovah and his servant are closely intertwined. Their judging the nations is therefore likewise intertwined. Isaiah compares them to two arms—righteousness and salvation—who judge the peoples: “My righteousness shall be at hand and my salvation proceed; my arms shall judge the peoples” (Isaiah 51:5; emphasis added). In short, Jehovah’s arm of righteousness—his servant (Isaiah 41:2; 46:11-13)—prepares the way before the arm of salvation, who is Jehovah (Isaiah 33:2; 40:10-11; 46:13; 62:10-11).
He will judge. Because of many parallel roles of Jehovah and his servant, the subject of the above passage may switch back and forth between the two. On one level, for example, the servant—unlike the reprobate judges of Jehovah’s people—judges the people “with righteousness” or “righteously” (besedeq). On another level, Jehovah judges the people “with righteousness” (besedeq)—that is, through his servant who personifies “righteousness” (Isaiah 41:2; 46:11-13). As the servant emulates Jehovah in ministering justice, moreover (Isaiah 9:6-7; 42:1-4), so others who judge emulate the servant.
He will smite. Multiple applications of the above passage similarly apply to the terms “rod,” “mouth,” “breath,” and “lips.” On the one hand, Jehovah’s servant—his rod, mouth, breath, and lips (Isaiah 48:3; 49:2; 51:16; 57:18-19; 62:1-2)—is its subject. On the other, Jehovah is its subject in the sense that he appoints the servant as his instrument of punishment and deliverance. On a third, possible level, the king of Assyria/Babylon—Jehovah’s rod, mouth, breath, and lips (Isaiah 9:4, 12; 10:5, 15; 30:27-28; 33:11-12; 59:3)—is its subject when Jehovah appoints him as his instrument of punishment.
His intuition will be [guided] by the fear of Jehovah. Like Israel’s God, his exemplar, Jehovah’s servant knows intuitively the justice or injustice of the cases he judges. Imbued with Jehovah’s Spirit and the fear of Jehovah (v 2)—having followed his counsel to “sanctify Jehovah of Hosts, making him your fear, him your awe” (Isaiah 8:13)—he is equal to the task. As Moses judged Jehovah’s people, but also appointed additional judges to judge them (Exodus 18:19-26), so the servant and other judges arbitrate equitably for the poor and lowly in the land (Isaiah 16:4-5; 28:5-6; 32:1; 42:1-4; 60:17-18).

The Gentiles, will harm and mar this Servant. On account of this, even as the Davidic Servant will be "marred",
he will be completely healed by the LORD.
This healing might involve him being "translated" and also his receiving of his "Calling and Election made sure".
This healing will be truly miraculous for all to see.
The Davidic King will prepare the way for Christ's return.
The Davidic King will have a three-year ministry that reaches to the world and warns the entire world of what is to come.
Similarly, the 144,000 and also the ANGELS will gather the righteous from throughout the world.
But the tribulations of that day will probably have begun before the Davidic King's official ministry to the World has started.
We Gentiles, and also the entire World, will have two choices when the Davidic King arrives:
we will either
(1) harden our hearts to our own condemnation and destruction; or else
(2) we will repent and prepare to join Zion.
There will be a complete division between the righteous and the wicked in that day.
The Great and Marvelous Work will probably not begin until the Davidic King's three-year official ministry starts.
We have not seen the "Great and Marvelous Work", yet; .
This event is still future and it will be incredible. Among other things, the Davidic King will completely restore The House of Israel.

Isaiah 32
www.isaiahexplained.com/32#commentary
9 Up, and listen to my voice, O complacent women;
you careless daughters, hear my words!
10 In little more than a year
you shall be in anguish, O carefree ones,
for when the harvest is over,
the produce shall fail to arrive.
Not only the men but also the women of Jehovah’s people come under Jehovah’s censure.
Their being spiritually and physically “complacent” and “carefree” in the face of his impending judgments leaves them unprepared and exposed to the evil time.
With another year left of Jehovah’s three-year warning before Assyria’s assault (cf. Isaiah 16:14; 20:3),
Jehovah’s voice—his servant—alerts them to the coming time of scarcity.
Like Lot’s wife, who couldn’t imagine sudden destruction falling upon her city that had been there for centuries
(Genesis 19:26), they too stand to perish (Isaiah 3:16-26).

"Although Isaiah is already in a state of mourning because of the wickedness of Jehovah’s people and Assyria’s aggressiveness,
Jehovah now asks him to go naked and barefoot as a “sign and portent” against Egypt and Cush (cf. Isaiah 8:18).
Exposing himself to the elements and to people’s mockery, Isaiah—“my servant”—obeys.
As a type of Jehovah’s end-time servant, Isaiah gives warning of Assyria’s invasion of Egypt and Cush (Upper Egypt)
and of the humiliation of their captives.
They have three years in which to repent before three years of Jehovah’s Day of Judgment overtake them (cf. Isaiah 16:14).
Isaiah 16
13 These things Jehovah spoke hitherto about Moab.
14 But now Jehovah has said, Within three years, as the term of a lease, Moab’s glory shall become ignominy.
For all its large populace there shall be very few left, and those of no account.
Moab’s three-year lease of time in which to mend its ways applies to Greater Babylon in general.
In his long-suffering, Jehovah sends the world three years of warning through his servant before his Day of Judgment commences (Isaiah 20:1-6).
Then, in a long-awaited reversal of circumstances, Greater Babylon’s glory turns to ignominy while Zion’s ignominy turns to glory (Isaiah 47:1; 52:1-3).
Although Greater Babylon comprises a majority of the world’s population, it boasts of no righteous surviving remnant (Isaiah 13:19; 14:22; 21:9).
The few souls of Moab who remain alive aren’t noteworthy.
