Isaiah 2:1-5, What does this prophecy of the future Jerusalem tell us about God’s plan for the Gentiles? About God’s plan for the Jews? About spiritual hunger? About peace? I believe verse 2:1-5 is giving us a peek into what we will see in the "last days" of the world before he comes back to Judge it. It shall come to pass that the mountain of the Lord's House (Christianity: Jesus Christ as the savior) shall be firmly established (a revival in the world) and shall be exalted above the hills (all other religions) and all nations shall flow to it (people from all faiths shall convert to Christianity). From out of Zion (from the Jewish religion) shall go forth the law and instruction , and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem (Jews will have a spiritual hunger for seeking the truth of Jesus). He will reveal himself to his chosen. And He shall judge between the nations and shall decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. (The hearts of people from all over the world will surrender their lives to Jesus because he will open their eyes). Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more (Godly Peace will be established on the earth). .

Q1a) Like the spoiled child, the children of God have forgotten who it is that gives them the blessings they have. They have been given freedom and choice. They have been blessed with the things of their hearts but have forgotten whom it was that gave it to them. In turn, they have chosen to turn their backs on God’s way and do it their own way. Like a toddler who is continuously told no… but must cont. to try. So are Gods people of this day trying to do it their way instead of accepting the fact that they are sons and daughters of the King of the Universe who will show them the way in all things, if obedient. Instead, God the Father says his children must be punished for disobedience... Q1b) Christ’s children have stopped having a relationship with him. They are confused because they have forgotten whose child they are and who’s name they carry. Instead, they value the trends, the crowds, and the flow of the social norms. They have forgotten what the Lord instructs us to do and value the doctrine of man above God. Watering down (diluting) Gods instructions regarding 1) keeping him first 2) keeping his name Sacred 3) keeping the Sabbath 4) honoring your mother and father 5) not stealing 6) not lying 7) not ******* 8) not killing 9) not envying 10) Not making any other images to bow down to…. We have many images we bow down to today: Our money, our televisions, our sports, our children, our home, our careers, and our position in life. We value these things more than God. If we didn’t than we would invest more time learning about him and trusting that he is our one true love that has come to save us. He is our Hero. We would pray (talk to God) and read our bibles (listen to God). We would have a Relationship. But people don’t see that because they are Serving Self… instead of God. They have compromised the Word of God to fit into their Social Genre. They are blind and cannot see this. Q1c) God says that his children have “blood on their hands”. I believe that this is because they are living like the world. No different. They have forsaken His Commands. Because of their lack of regard for the Word of God… the people of God have ensured the eternal damnation of many whom they could have saved. But their ways were corrupt and he says unclean and evil, unjust, oppressing to the poor and needy. (The opposite of love) Q1d) The ungodly ways of the people are unreasonable because they do not reflect the image of God. Their reflection is of themselves. The children of God should stop their wrong way and choose to do what the Father instructs so that the Father can bless and fellowship with the child and continue to show them the way and bless them…. So that God could show his true nature through “love”. God promises that he will cancel the debt and make our slate clean, he will make us White as Snow! He is our parent and wants to shower us with his love and blessing. He wants us to be the best at everything. He has a plan for us… We have a choice: Turn from our ways and receive his blessing and “eat the good of the land”. If we don't turn from our sinful ways "we will be devoured by the sword".
