1. 1.2:1-4 gives a prophetic description of Jerusalem in its new spiritual state, which we know is the church :5 – 4:1 describes the current corrupt condition of Judah and Jerusalem and the doom that awaits it :2-6 describes the Branch of the Lord, who is Jesus and how remnant of Jews will be blessed at the time of Jesus :1-4 gives a prophetic description of Jerusalem in its new spiritual state, which we know is the church :5 – 4:1 describes the current corrupt condition of Judah and Jerusalem and the doom that awaits it :2-6 describes the Branch of the Lord, who is Jesus and how remnant of Jews will be blessed at the time of Jesus.

Isaiah 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it. 3 Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; 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 anymore.

1. 1.It would happen at a certain time “latter days.” 2. 2.It would be an institution “the mountain of Lord’s house It would be built at a location “established on the top of the mountains.” 4. 4.It would be exalted above others “exalted above the hills.” 5. 5.It would involve all nations “all nations shall flow to it.” 1. 1.It would happen at a certain time “latter days.” 2. 2.It would be an institution “the mountain of Lord’s house It would be built at a location “established on the top of the mountains.” 4. 4.It would be exalted above others “exalted above the hills.” 5. 5.It would involve all nations “all nations shall flow to it.”

Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days..

Daniel 2:28 "But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, were these:

THE FOUR KINGDOMS The head of fine Gold – The Babylonian Empire The breast and arms of silver – Medo-Persian Empire The belly of brass – The Grecian Empire The legs of iron and feet part of iron and part of clay – The Roman Empire

Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 "For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 "But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.

The prophecies of Isaiah 2, Joel 2, and Daniel 2 were fulfilled in Acts 2.

2. It would be an institution “the mountain of Lord’s house. The term mountain is used figuratively as a kingdom in verses like Psalm 76:4 and Jer. 51: It would be an institution “the mountain of Lord’s house. The term mountain is used figuratively as a kingdom in verses like Psalm 76:4 and Jer. 51:25.

2 Samuel 7:12 " When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 "He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

Matthew 16:18 "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

3. It would be built at a location “established on the top of the mountains.”

Hebrews 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, Hebrews 12:28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, Hebrews 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, Hebrews 12:28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,

4. It would be exalted above others “exalted above the hills.”

“It would transcend all the kingdoms of the world in greatness and grandeur.”

Matthew 13:31 "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, 32 "which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."

5. It would involve all nations “all nations shall flow to it.”

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 "For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."

Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

3 Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. 47 "For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.' " 48 Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region.

For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Luke 24:46 Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 "and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; 5 "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

Jeremiah 31:31 " Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah "not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. 33 "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 "No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."

4 He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; 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 anymore.

John 12:48 "He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him -- the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

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 anymore.

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.

Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

Ephesians 2:14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

We learned that Isaiah is prophesying about the coming kingdom/church. It would happen in the latter days, which Daniel 2 said would happen during the Roman Empire and Joel 2 said that God’s Spirit would be poured out in those days, which Peter said happened on the Day of Pentecost. This kingdom would be established in Jerusalem and its word/law would go forth from that place, which is exactly what we see happening on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2. It is the greatest kingdom there is because it is eternal and offers those who are part of it eternal life in heaven. It is a kingdom that is available for everyone who will seek it out. When we live by its word/law, we will be at peace. We learned that Isaiah is prophesying about the coming kingdom/church.

The kingdom was not set up while Jesus was on the earth. Mat. 3:1-3 John said the kingdom was at hand. Mat. 4:17 Jesus said the kingdom was at hand. Mat. 6:9 Jesus prays for the coming of the kingdom. Mat. 10:7 Jesus sent the 12 out and told them to preach that the kingdom was at hand. The kingdom was not set up while Jesus was on the earth. Mat. 3:1-3 John said the kingdom was at hand. Mat. 4:17 Jesus said the kingdom was at hand. Mat. 6:9 Jesus prays for the coming of the kingdom. Mat. 10:7 Jesus sent the 12 out and told them to preach that the kingdom was at hand.

In Mark 9:1 we learn that the kingdom would come with power. Luke 24:44-49 teaches that the Spirit and the power were to come together. In Mark 9:1 we learn that the kingdom would come with power. Luke 24:44-49 teaches that the Spirit and the power were to come together.

If we can show when the Spirit came, we can show when the kingdom came. In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells the apostles to wait in Jerusalem to receive power from the HS In Acts 2:1-4, The spirit came on Pentecost. So, the kingdom came at Pentecost. When you read the N.T., you find that kingdom is spoken of as coming before Acts 2, but after Acts 2, the kingdom is spoken of as present reality (Col. 1:3; Acts 8:12).
