The Mountain of the Lord
The Mountain of the Lord
(Isaiah 2)
Isaiah prophesies that in the last days,
the mount of the Lord’s temple, his church,
will be established as chief among mountains (religions),
above the high hills to perch.
All nations on earth will stream to it;
many peoples will come and say,
“To the house of the God of Jacob,
let us go and learn his ways,
so that we may walk along his paths
and have his peace within.”
Their loads will be borne by the Savior
who will take away their sin.
No longer will Jew and Gentile
be enemies that fight,
but will beat their swords into plowshares,
walk together in God’s light.
The New Israel, the chosen few
who seek God with honest hearts,
will share in the bountiful blessings
that his righteousness imparts.
Hundreds of years before Christ came,
Isaiah prophesied
that his church would be established,
the nations unified
by the teachings of this humble man,
God’s only begotten Son,
who would show us by example
just how the race should be run.
