“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.
