 Chapter 2 

The book of Isaiah

Chapter one is written to a rebellious nation.

Chapter two is different it is about the Mountain of the Lord.

This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

In the last days

the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established 

as the highest of the mountains; 

it will be exalted above the hills, 

and all the nations will stream to it.

Many peoples will come and say, 

"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths. The Law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. 

God's temple sets on a high place. It is a place where people come to learn how to walk in the Lord's ways. 

God's mountain is a place to learn and seek his righteousness. God directs people on how to do what is right.

He invites them to come to the high mountain.

It is not about beating someone down because they are wrong but its about them knowing, God will tells you the wrong but he also invites people to go up to the mountain. To climb higher, elevating the mind, learning what is  right.

They will beat their swords into plowshares and their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. 

Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord. 

God wants to teach us..how to walk in the light. 

In the Gospels it says Jesus taught his disciples. He stood on the mount of olives and taught the people the b- attitudes. The disciples went on to teach new believers. 

God is good. He is consistent.
