Map: Prophesy:..Lord’s temple will be established…all nations will stream to it; He will teach us his ways; He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many people (vs 4, NIV).
Isaiah 2:1-5, GNB
[1]This is the message which God gave to Isaiah son of Amoz about Judah and Jerusalem:
[2]In days to come the mountain where the Temple stands will be the highest one of all, towering above all the hills. Many nations will come streaming to it,
[3]and their people will say, “Let us go up the hill of the Lord, to the Temple of Israel’s God. He will teach us what he wants us to do; we will walk in the paths he has chosen. For the Lord’s teaching comes from Jerusalem; from Zion he speaks to his people.”
[4]He will settle disputes among great nations. They will hammer their swords into ploughs and their spears into pruning knives. Nations will never again go to war, never prepare for battle again.
[5]Now, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light which the Lord gives us!
