But in the latter days,
    it will happen that the mountain of Yahweh’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains,
    and it will be exalted above the hills;
    and peoples will stream to it.
Many nations will go and say,
    “Come! Let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh,
    and to the house of the God of Jacob;
    and he will teach us of his ways,
    and we will walk in his paths.”
For the law will go out of Zion,
    and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem;
and he will judge between many peoples,
    and will decide concerning strong nations afar off.
    They will beat their swords into plowshares,
    and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
    neither will they learn war any more.
But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree;
    and no one will make them afraid:
For the mouth of Yahweh of Armies has spoken.     Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods;
    but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever and ever.

The Lord’s Future Reign

In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house
    will be the highest of all—
    the most important place on earth.
It will be raised above the other hills,
    and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.
People from many nations will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the house of Jacob’s God.
There he will teach us his ways,
    and we will walk in his paths.”
For the Lord’s teaching will go out from Zion;
    his word will go out from Jerusalem.
The Lord will mediate between peoples
    and will settle disputes between strong nations far away.
They will hammer their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will no longer fight against nation,
    nor train for war anymore.
Everyone will live in peace and prosperity,
    enjoying their own grapevines and fig trees,
    for there will be nothing to fear.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies
    has made this promise!
Though the nations around us follow their idols,
    we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever.
