Ain't no mountain high enough

Isaiah 2:2


In the last days,
    the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established
       as chief among the mountains,
   it will be raised above the hills,
   and all nations will stream to it.

  • Mt. Moriah's elevation is 2,428 ft.  
  • The highest and tallest elevation on the earth's surface is the top of Mount Everest on the border of Nepal and China at 29,035 feet...
Yet we know that this mountain will be raised up somehow as the mountain of mountains when Christ comes again.  It will be the place where Christ teaches from when He reigns.  And all nations will stream to it....I just love that line.....how beautiful-a river of all peoples streaming to it.  I am not sure what it all means..but that is ok.  I don't need all the details or specifics because I have faith and I rest and gain peace in the beauty of the Scripture.


One day...
There will be only one King and He is the King of Kings.
He alone will reign on this earth from both a spiritual perspective and a governmental.
He will reign over all nations.
There will be only His name alone.


Today this mountain, considered the most Holy of Holies, is controlled by Muslims.
This blows my mind. (Although I do not understand all the specifics regarding the fighting between nations on this)


The scripture in Isaiah 2 goes on to say... v3-4




Many peoples will come and say,

   "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
         to the house of the God of Jacob.
    He will teach us His ways,
    so that we may walk in His paths."
    The law will go out from Zion,
       the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
   He will judge between nations
       and will settle disputes for many peoples.
   They will beat their swords into plowshares
      and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will not take up sword against nation,
     nor will they train for war anymore.


This mountain, in the last days will be a place of peace.  People will destroy their weapons and fight no more.  Jesus will teach from this Holy mountain and yet today-look at the situation going on with this mountain....it is the cause of the biggest longest lasting conflict in the Middle East.


I wish Israel had control of it.   Regardless....in the end, God's Word stands.


As a follower of Christ, I know while the Temple Mount is holy,  God is with me always through the Holy Spirit and I am ever so grateful for that gift.  Thank you Heavenly Father!
