Do you see what Isaiah saw? The Mountain of the Lord's Temple will be established.

October 2, 2013 - Isaiah 2:1-5

    1 This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
   2 In the last days
   the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established
   as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,
   and all nations will stream to it.
   3 Many peoples will come and say,
   “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
   to the temple 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.
4 He will judge between the 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.
   5 Come, descendants of Jacob,
   let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Prophet Isaiah saw the vision of the Mountain of the Lord in the last days, which would be the highest of the mountains of the earth. The mountain of the Lord symbolizes the coming of God's Kingdom that all nations will come and all peoples will go to worship. God will become the King who exercises the justice and peace among all His peoples. God is our ultimate Teacher who will teach us His ways; God is the Judge who will judge righteously; God is the King that wars will end and ultimate Peace will occur. 
My Lord God,  let me see what Isaiah could see from his vision; let me see the Mountain of the Lord that will soon arrive; let me see God's Kingdom that has been inaugurated by Jesus and His Gospel; let me see Your peoples from all the parts of the earth will be converted and come to worship our Lord; let me see ultimate Peace and Justice will be accomplished as Jesus comes to reign and be the Righteous King on earth. My God, let me see Your Vision of Your coming Kingdom though this world seems changing without our control. But You are God and the Coming King on earth.
