One in Christ in God, #6
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 second chapter of Isaiah gives voice to the burden concerning the Temple of God. The preceding passage means the Christian Church will be the ruling government in the earth. Christ will be the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords. The peoples of the earth will bring their treasures to Mount Zion, the Body of Christ, just as the ambassadors of the nations carried gifts to the court of King Solomon. God has promised Jesus the nations for His inheritance and the farthest reaches of the earth for His possession.
We are coheirs with Him!
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)
It is true even today that only in the Christian Church can the peoples of the earth hear the Word of the Lord. In the days ahead the world finally will acknowledge its need for the rulership and the priesthood ("the law, and the word of the Lord") of the Body of Christ.
Jesus prayed to the Father for the creation of His Body (John 17:21-26). If there were no other Scripture reference to the eternal House of God we would know, nevertheless, that it will arise in majesty, block upon block, because of the moving of the hand of God in answer to the all-powerful prayers of the beloved Son.
The thought of the days of God's rulership through His Church is inspiring to us. But when we observe the divisions and weaknesses of the Body of Christ we may ask with God, "Can these bones live?" (Ezekiel 37:3).
But then we can rejoice with God because of the certainty that these bones shall live indeed and that they shall stand upon their feet "an exceeding great army" (Ezekiel 37:10).
When the sons of God are revealed and the full Presence of God in Christ is manifested in them and through them, God and Satan will be facing each other in the earth in a confrontation that can have only one outcome. Sin will be judged and the Kingdom Age will commence. This is how the conditions described in the second chapter of Isaiah will be brought about (Romans 8:17-21).
