Nations Stream to Zion to Learn Peace

The mountain is raised so that instruction, not conquest, draws the peoples

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. In the last days the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and all nations shall flow unto it. Many people say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Peoples stream in to learn. The vision is latter-days hope centered on Zion's teaching, not a modern land title, not immunity for any nation that claims the poem, and not a warrant to replace Israel with a church that then coerces others.

Swords become plowshares because the LORD settles the disputes

He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

Weapons are remade for cultivation after divine judgment, not after a human campaign dressed as destiny. Jacob is invited to walk in that light now, which means the vision judges present militarism rather than postponing obedience until the scenery arrives.
