Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                 Isaiah 2:1-4 (KJB)

These verses happen to be about that which will happen "in the last days." The phrase "the last days" can only refer to Christ's final battle with Satan and evil, and His final judgment of humanity after His millennial reign. Revelation 20:7-15 (KJB).

God will establish His final government on earth in the mountains that surround Jerusalem. "All nations" will recognize Jerusalem as the capitol of the world. "All nations" can only mean all of God's living humans that He will bring back to faith in Him, and whom He will resurrect from the regions of death so that He can recreate them all to live on His new earth forever. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). All people on God's new earth will be filled with His Spirit, and they will all have a deep desire to learn about God and His laws for the earth that will be made in Jerusalem. Joel 2:28-32; Luke 3:6 (KJB). In Revelation 20:4-6, the first resurrection will be of the Tribulation saints who will reign with Christ for a thousand years. But the resurrection after the thousand years will be of all of God's repentant, living humans confined to the regions of death. Revelation 5:11-14; Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB).

All of the people of God's new earth will no longer have any desire to go to war. The earth will live in peace forever. This verse also indicates that all of this will happen in "the last days" that follow the millennial reign of Christ because toward the end of Christ's reign, Satan, loosed from his prison, will lead an evil army of humans to make war against Jerusalem and against Christ. Revelation 20:7-10 (KJB).
