1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Now ait shall come to pass bin the latter days cThat the mountain of the Lord’s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it.
3 Many people shall come and say, a“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” bFor out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning1 hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.
The Day of the Lord
5 O house of Jacob, come and let us awalk In the light of the Lord.
6 For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled awith eastern ways; They arebsoothsayers like the Philistines, cAnd they1 are pleased with the children of foreigners.
7aTheir land is also full of silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures; Their land is also full of horses, And there is no end to their chariots.
If the curse foretold against Israel has been literally fulfilled, so shall the promised blessing be literal. We Gentiles must not, while giving them the curse, deny them their peculiar blessing by spiritualizing it. The Holy Ghost shall be poured out for a general conversion then (Jeremiah 50:5; Zechariah 8:21, Zechariah 8:23; Joel 2:28).
