Well, I'll give you this, the citation from Isaiah is your best attempt yet. At least you found a passage which included the words "second time".

Unfortunately, the context of the chapter makes clear that this is talking about something which is to be fulfilled within the time of the messiah's life on earth. Both verses 10 and 11 begin, "In that day...", meaning the time in which the messiah is born from the root of Jesse (verse 1) and accomplishes all the things prophecied in the rest of the chapter. The phrase "second time" refers NOT to a second coming of the messiah, but rather to God's gathering, for a second time, the remnant of Israel and Judah.

It looks as tho we will just have to agree to disagree on some scripture interpretations. I being led by the Holy Spirit, and you being led by self.
