He shall judge among the nations,
and shall rebuke many peoples;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
nor shall they learn war any more.
Isaiah 2:4, Modern English Version (MEV)
The rule of God, the Kingdom of God, will be centered in
the holy city of Jerusalem, and it will be a time of peace, when all the
nations of the earth will bow to Him. This the people of Israel firmly hoped
and believed. However, to paraphrase the title of a great Broadway musical,
"A funny thing happened on the way to universal peace and
prosperity."
and shall rebuke many peoples;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
nor shall they learn war any more.
Isaiah 2:4, Modern English Version (MEV)
