6) Vision of Future Age In Closing Chapters of Isaiah
The closing chapters of Isaiah, develop further the vision of the future age that was given in the opening chapters of the book. These chapters deserve to be read very closely as they outline again for the reader the events that will soon occur on the earth. Yahweh is determined that all mankind will see His power and acknowledge Him as the creator and our life source. He is all powerful and Jerusalem will be the centre of government. (Isa 62:1-3) For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness…and the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory…thou shalt be also a crown of glory in the hand of Yahweh.”
Future of Jerusalem
With the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth, faithful Jews and Gentiles will be rewarded with eternal life in the kingdom, following resurrection and Judgement of the responsible, who have lived during the six thousand years of man’s existence. Jerusalem will become a holy city.(Isa 62: 11-12) “Yahweh hath proclaimed…to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy salvation cometh…and they shall call them The holy people, the redeemed of Yahweh: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, a city not forsaken”
Peace Promised For Jew and Gentile
An era of peace, justice and righteous rule will be established for all people who survive the calamities that come with the battle of Armageddon and from earthquakes.
(Isa 64:4) “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear , neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that wait for him.”
Jerusalem now is a trouble spot in the world and a problem that the rulers of the powerful nations cannot solve. (Isa 64:10) “Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.” This state of affairs will change.(Isa 65: 9) “I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah, an inheritor of my mountains; and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.” The Messiah will return to this earth to execute judgement and establish peace. Jerusalem, for thousands of years a place of conflict, will be transformed.
(Isa:65:18-25) “I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy…I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people…and they shall build houses and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them…the wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith Yahweh.”
