SCRIPTURE

"The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah`s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it." — Isaiah 2:1-2 (ASV)

The word that Isaiah the son of Amos saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 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.

What grand hopes are kindled in our hearts by words like these. The church has always been as a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden, but still she has not been known in all parts of the world, and she has never been known with that universal eminence which attaches to the things of this world – the things of pomp and show.

But the day will come when she will be the highest of the high.

Her mountain will be established on the tops of the mountains, – when she will be best known of all the known, and will become what she was always meant to be – the metropolis of the whole world, the center to which all peoples will flow. Not the Jews alone will then possess the oracles of God, but all nations shall flow unto it.
