“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.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." v.2
Read chapter 4.
This chapter starts off with the description of the kingdom, an amazing hope after chapter 3 of the prediction of Israel's destruction. We know this first part of this chapter is referring to the kingdom from the words used in verse one of "latter days" but also realizing the description is not something that had or has happened yet and describes God's government ("mountain") ruling in all the earth. In verse two here we see that in the Kingdom it's not just Israel as the only nation or that all believers "become" Israel but other nations that follow the Lord. It says many nations want to go to Jerusalem to learn God's ways and live it. Zion (also called Jerusalem) is the seat of God's government as He rules over the whole earth, kinda like Washington D.C is the seat of government in the USA where the law is sent forth from unto the whole country. Oh I can't wait for the day for God's government, His kingdom, rules on the earth! Would you travel across the world if it was the only way to learn of God and His ways?
