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.

IN THE LAST DAYS (ISAIAH)

The New Testament broadly defines the “last days” as the period of time between Jesus’ first coming (by birth) and His second coming (Acts 2:17). In the sense, the second coming does not refer to what typically is called the rapture of the church – when Christ will take His followers from the world before He begins His final judgments (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). The rapture is sometimes referred to as the “first stage” of the second coming. But Christ’s literal second coming is when He will return to earth following the tribulation judgments to rescue those who turned to Him during that time and to destroy the forces of the antichrist (Revelation 19). Between the time of Christ’s birth and His return to earth, His message of spiritual life and peace will spread to all people. What Isaiah describes in Isaiah 2:1-5 will reach its complete fulfillment after Christ’s second coming. At that time, He will establish God’s kingdom on earth, reign among His people and rule the earth in peace for a thousand years (Revelation 20). After this will come the final judgements of both the wicked and the righteous and the establishment of a new heaven and earth in which God will live forever with His people (Revelation 21-22).
