Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 2:4

"And he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." — Isaiah 2:4 (ASV)

They shall not save their weapons for future use, or believe in the theory that the best way to preserve peace is to be prepared for war; but they shall beat their swords into ploughshares and turn their spears into pruninghooks.

The spirit which created war shall be conquered. From where do wars and fightings among you come? Do they not come from this source, even from your lusts?

When lust and envy and hatred shall be dethroned, and the Spirit of Christ shall be dominant over the world, then shall they learn war no more.

"O happy day! O long-expected day begin!" Let each one of us labor mightily as the Spirit works in us to bring about a consummation so devoutly wished for.
