The rule of the Temple of God
It appears that the Book of Isaiah has more to say about the Jubilee than does any other portion of the Scripture. There are many aspects of the thousand-year Kingdom Age that we can observe in Isaiah:
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. (Isaiah 2:2)
The term mountain, in prophetic symbolism, refers to government. The above passage indicates that the Temple of God will be set up on the earth during the thousand-year Kingdom Age and given authority and power over all other government, just as Daniel prophesied (Daniel 2:44). It can be seen also all the nations of the earth will be drawn to the Temple of God and will place themselves under subjection to 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. (Isaiah 2:3)
The Temple of God is the "house of the God of Jacob." Notice the voluntary coming to the Lord on the part of the nations of the saved. This is the time when the world knows that God has sent Christ and has loved the Church as He has loved Christ (John 17:23). In that hour the inhabitants of the earth will have confidence that God will teach them His ways.
In our day the world does not have this confidence in God or His Church, His Temple.
In the Day of the Lord, the nations of the saved will choose to walk in God’s ways. They will have this desire because the sons of God, the victorious saints of today, will have taken over the control of the spiritual atmosphere of the earth, Satan having been hurled into the bottomless pit.
The strong man now has been bound and his house is being invaded. The Holy Spirit will be moving in the earth as never before. All evildoers will have been destroyed at the appearing of Christ.
"Out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem" means the Church, the Temple of God, will teach the laws of righteousness, holiness, and obedience to God to every man, woman, boy, and girl on the face of our planet. The laws of the Kingdom of God were announced by Christ throughout His ministry, particularly during the Sermon on the Mount.
It eternally was and is true of Jesus that He is the Kingdom Age and always lives and acts in the Kingdom. He ever reveals in Himself the works of power of the age to come (Hebrews 6:5) and the righteousness, peace, and joy of the Kingdom of God.
The Divine Redeemer, the One who enables every person to come into his own inheritance and gain release from slavery, took His place on the mountain (a type of Mount Zion, the Church of the thousand-year Kingdom Age—Matthew 5:1).
"He opened his mouth, and taught them" the laws of the Kingdom of God: "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall be called the children of God."
The ways of God portrayed in the life and teaching of Christ can be kept by us only through the impartation of Christ’s Nature to us accompanied by the immediate prompting and power of the Holy Spirit.
The wicked lords of darkness plus the law of sin in our fleshly nature resist our attempts to be meek, to hunger and thirst after righteousness, to show mercy, to be pure in heart, to create and maintain peace among the people around us. During the Jubilee it will be much easier to keep God’s laws because of the absence of hindering spirits and due to the abiding Presence of God among us.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. (Isaiah 2:4)
During the Jubilee, God through His Temple will act as a Judge so problems that arise can be settled justly, and amicably. As a result, the nations of the world will not have to go to war to decide their disputes.
The judgments of God will be so just, so perfect in wisdom and compassion, and enforced with such irresistible authority and power, that the reasons for war will have been removed completely. This will remain true throughout the thousand-year Kingdom Age.
The Antichrist will be permitted by the Lord to establish a world ruler ship for a season, but he finally will be destroyed by Christ because Antichrist is a thief, a liar, and a rebel against God. The only legal world ruler is Christ and His Body because the Lord God has given to Christ all authority and power over the earth, its resources, and all who dwell therein
