Reflection on Isaiah 2

Scripture

In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all – the most important place on earth.

Observation

Although Jerusalem is now in ruins, in the last days the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all. The nations will come to the mountain of the Lord hto learn His ways.

The Lord will mediate between nations. They will hammer their swords into plough shares and will not train for war.

Israel is full of riches and weapons, but it is also full of idols. Human pride and arrogance will be brought low and only the Lord will be exalted.

When the Lord shakes the land, people will abandon their gold and silver idols. The false gods cannot save them in the in the presence of the Lord

Application

We are living in what the prophets called “the last days” (Acts 2: 16, 17). The last days are not the end of the world, but the end of the old covenant.

In these last days, people are coming to a mountain of the Lord that his spiritual not physical, to the house of the Lord that is spiritual not physical.

All over the world, people are coming to the Lord in unprecedented numbers.Whole nations, especially in Africa, have turned from false gods and idols in the space of a couple of generations.

The “mountain of the Lord’s house” is the church. All over the world, millions upon millions of people are participating in church every week. We are starting to see hints of revival in North America and in Europe.

These are the days of the vision that Isaiah saw. It started on Pentecost in Acts 2 and slowly, over the millennia, God’s kingdom is spreading over the world.

Prayer

Thank you Lord for the privilege of living at this time. Thank you for he revival that is happening worldwide. Please bring it to Australia and to my town. Amen.
