Isaiah 2:1-5 NKJV 
2 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. 
3 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 law, 
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 
4 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. 
5 O house of Jacob, come and let us walk 
In the light of the Lord.

9. Isaiah was trying to warn the Children of Israel that judgement was coming. Isaiah told them along with judgment, would be salvation. God doesn’t just want to punish us. It is God’s desire for us to get it right.
10. After all that the Children of Israel went through, they still went back to their idols.
11. Isiah prophesied that God would raise them up on the mountain in the last days. In those last days, they would hunger for Gods word.
