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

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

The Mountain of the Lord(A)

This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:(B)

In the last days(C)

the mountain(D) of the Lord’s temple will be established
    as the highest of the mountains;(E)
it will be exalted(F) above the hills,
    and all nations will stream to it.(G)

Many peoples(H) will come and say,

“Come, let us go(I) up to the mountain(J) of the Lord,
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law(K) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.(L)
He will judge(M) between the nations
    and will settle disputes(N) for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.(O)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,(P)
    nor will they train for war anymore.

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.

11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

The Lord will be king(A) over the whole earth.(B) On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.(C)

10 The whole land, from Geba(D) to Rimmon,(E) south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up(F) high from the Benjamin Gate(G) to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate,(H) and from the Tower of Hananel(I) to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.(J) 11 It will be inhabited;(K) never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.(L)

12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike(M) all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.(N) 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic.(O) They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.(P) 14 Judah(Q) too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected(R)—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague(S) will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors(T) from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship(U) the King,(V) the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(W) 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship(X) the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.(Y) 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[a] will bring on them the plague(Z) he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AA) 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.(AB)

20 On that day holy to the Lord(AC) will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots(AD) in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls(AE) in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy(AF) to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day(AG) there will no longer be a Canaanite[b](AH) in the house(AI) of the Lord Almighty.(AJ)

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
