How will Christ judge when He rules?

When Christ rules, He will judge with righteousness, absolute fairness, and no corruption. He will not judge by the sight of His eyes or reprove by the hearing of His ears, nor need advisors, a cabinet, or reports. The Spirit's wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, and knowledge enable His quick, absolute judgment.

Les explains that verse 2 describes the Spirit of the Lord resting on the King with wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord, making Him quick in understanding. Unlike a president who needs good men to cover various areas and report intelligently, Christ won't need advisors, a cabinet, or people to give Him advice. He won't judge by what He sees, whether reports or whatever, and He won't reprove or react to what someone has told or reported to Him. His power and authority are so absolute that those things won't be necessary. Verse 4 says He will rule with righteousness, absolute fairness, and no corruption.

Isaiah 11:3

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
