Isaiah 21 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.

maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those
days..

Daniel 228 "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.

Acts 214 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.
10
The prophecies of Isaiah 2, Joel 2, and Daniel 2
were fulfilled in Acts 2.

2. It would be an institution the mountain of
Lords house. The term mountain is used
figuratively as a kingdom in verses like Psalm
764 and Jer. 5125.

2 Samuel 712 " 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.
13
Matthew 1618 "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."

firstborn who are registered in heaven, Hebrews
1228 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,
16
4. It would be exalted above others exalted
above the hills.
17
It would transcend all the kingdoms of the world
in greatness and grandeur.
18
Matthew 1331 "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."
19
5. It would involve all nations all nations
shall flow to it.

Acts 238 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."
22
Matthew 2819 "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.
23
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.
24
Acts 1345 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.
25
For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the
word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
26
Luke 2446 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.
27
Acts 14 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."
28
Jeremiah 3131 " 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 -- 32 "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."

many people They shall beat their swords into

Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.

their spears into pruning hooks Nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they
learn war anymore.
32
Matthew 59 Blessed are the peacemakers, For
they shall be called sons of God.
33
Romans 1218 If it is possible, as much as
depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
34
Ephesians 214 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 Gods 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.

36
The kingdom was not set up while Jesus was on the
earth. Mat. 31-3 John said the kingdom was at
hand. Mat. 417 Jesus said the kingdom was at
hand. Mat. 69 Jesus prays for the coming of the
kingdom. Mat. 107 Jesus sent the 12 out and
told them to preach that the kingdom was at hand.
37
In Mark 91 we learn that the kingdom would come
with power. Luke 2444-49 teaches that the
Spirit and the power were to come together.
38
If we can show when the Spirit came, we can show
when the kingdom came. In Acts 18, Jesus tells
the apostles to wait in Jerusalem to receive
power from the HS In Acts 21-4, 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. 13 Acts 812).
