7) A Future Temple
A future temple for worship will be built.(Isa 66: 1) “Thus saith Yahweh, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? And where is the place of my rest?” (Isa 66: 10) “Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her.” Jew and Gentile will be united in worship of the God of Israel.(Isa 66: 12) “I will extend peace to Jerusalem to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.” (Isa 66 : 14) “The hand of Yahweh shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.”
Before peace can be established in the earth, there will be judgement upon the nations. All nations will be drawn to the Middle East, to Israel, where the battle of Armageddon will take place.(Isa 66: 15-16) “Yahweh will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will Yahweh plead with all flesh: and the slain of Yahweh shall be many.” (Isa 66:18-19) “I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see my glory…I will send those that escape of them unto the nations to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.”(Isa 66: 20) “And they shall bring all your brethren…unto Yahweh out of all nations…to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh.”(Isa 66: 23) “And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Yahweh.”
These final words of Isaiah clearly speak for themselves of the future glory to come upon the earth. The writings of Isaiah are full of the promise of a new age and world peace at last, and, well worth our close consideration.
