The Latter Days according to Isaiah 2:2

Isaiah 2:2

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.

Many people shall come and say, “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 shall go forth the Torah, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

He shall judge between the nations, and rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.”

When I was in Jerusalem in 1999, I was surprised how hilly it is. I can identify with the phrase “let us go up to the mountain.” Literally speaking, according to the Messianic interpretation, during the early years of the Millenium, when Yeshua sits on the throne in the new Temple atop the Temple mount, the Law - which actually means “Teaching”/ Torah, shall be broadcast around the world. 

Per their belief in replacement theology, much of the Church does not take these verses literally - they are too Jewish and fantastic. Jesus (they say) has done away with “salvation by works” and that’s what the Law is (they think). Augustine introduced the idea of allegorical interpretation of Scripture and Covenant Theology has continued its dangerous viewpoints. It views human history as God’s redemptive relationship with mankind based on different covenants, and it emphasizes the transference of this relationship from Israel to the church.
