A Future Kingdom of Peace

In the last days, the mountain of the House of the Lord
        will be established as the highest among the mountains.[a]

Many nations will come and say,
    “Come, let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord,

    He will teach us his ways so that we may walk in his paths.”
    The law[b] will go out from Zion
    and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

  2. Micah 4:2 The term law here refers to the whole word of God.
