Christ Will Reign on Earth

The Lord’s house shall be established and all nations shall flow to it.” Isaiah 2:2
As Isaiah moves into chapter two he moves from the present to seeing the future. In that future God will reign on earth and all the nations will seek Him. This is the promise of the New Testament – God in the flesh shall reign and be exalted as King of kings. At that time, and only at that time, men shall beat their swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks. (Is. 2:4) Universal peace will finally be a reality for there will be only one King – the Prince of Peace.
Until then Isaiah moves back into the present and calls people to walk in the light of the Lord. That light is God’s word, the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God – the Bible. From that word we will learn how to have inner peace, know the way of God, and live lives that are full of God’s grace. The future will be wonderful, but the present is also greatly blessed for the children of God.  

Dear Father, Help us to live in Your joy now and wait patiently for the future. Amen.
