Old Testament(Isaiah 2:1-4) Infroming by Shincheonji
Isaiah 2:1-4
- Verses 2-3 :
In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house 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.
- Verse 4 :
‘The last days’ in verse 2 is the end of the age, and ‘the mountain of the Lord’s temple’ is God’s temple. It is ‘chief among the mountains because it has the highest truth. Many will congregate there at that time because they will learn his ways there, which is the word of revelation.
As seen in Isaiah 1, God brings the betrayers and destroyers to an end by judging them. While this judgment happens, those who return to the right track, (i.e. those who escape out of the place of destroyers) (refer to Mt 24:15-16; Rv 17:14; 18:4; 15:2-4) become Mount Zion (i.e. Jerusalem) in chapter 2. Because God is with these people, this place becomes the mountain (temple) of the highest grade.
This mountain is spiritual Mount Zion and the temple of new Jerusalem. God dwells at this temple; it is God’s kingdom (heaven). It is said that all nations will stream here and learn his ways, that is, the word of revelation. Both the law (God’s law) and the word will go out from here (new Jerusalem, Mount Zion) where God is.
In the Second Coming, the place where many peoples will come to is the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, where the one who overcomes is. This very place is God’s mountain, the temple of the God of Jacob (the one who overcame). At this Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, there is the one who overcomes, whom the Counselor, the Spirit of truth, is one with. Thus, He is the Counselor in flesh. He teaches the congregation members with the revealed word of the New Testament. This is the law and the word going out from Mount Zion, from Jerusalem. Many people gather here to receive this teaching.
After the chosen people were destroyed due to their betrayal, there was a war.
Once the war finishes, however, there is harvest, and the weapons that were used in the war, such as spears and swords, will be made into sickles to be used for harvest (refer to Rv 14:14-16). Both the war and judgment has passed; now we are waiting for the completion of harvest, and the Sabbath-rest.
From Isaiah 1 to Isaiah 2:4 is the conclusion and summary of the 66 chapters of Isaiah.This happened (fulfilled) at the First Coming of Jesus, and happens again today, which is the end of the age in the New Testament. The church of Jesus has been brought to an end, and harvest has begun!
Those who believe this will know where to go to live. Those who have been harvested have crossed over from death to life.
