Theme: A study in the need to learn the ways of God.

Text: Isaiah 2:2-3, (KJV)

"And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths......."


Introductory Remarks

To really appreciate what Isaiah is saying in these verses, we must understand what conditions were like at the time that he prophesied these words. There was only one nation in the whole world that had any idea of God at all. That nation was Israel and even their knowledge had become corrupted and polluted. All other nations of that day were bound by satanic power and were blinded spiritually by the God of this world.

In the midst of this condition, Isaiah stands up and with prophetic anointing burning in his soul and declares that there would come a day in the future when peoples from every nation were going to come into the house of God to be instructed in his ways and that they would walk in his paths. As a student of the Word, I'm aware that this prophecy by Isaiah to Israel will find its complete fulfillment in the Millennium Age that is to come, when Satan will be bound for 1000 years and Christ will reign over all the nations from Jerusalem. I'm also aware that what God has promised to do then to those who come into his house in Jerusalem- He is doing even now to those who are coming into His Church- the "Spiritual House" that Jesus is building with "living stones." The Scripture refers to the church as "the spiritual house of the Lord."
