One of the wonderful promises of the Lord is found in the words of Isaiah. He declared that in the last days, the LORDís house would be the very highest of all, in other words, the pinnacle of the work of the Lord. Isa. 2:2 We know this to be the perfect Bride of Christ who will be prepared for the wedding of the Lamb through a last day revival. Eph. 5 A return to the holiness of the Lord. A restoration of the standards of purity and righteousness as taught by the Word of the Lord. The last day church will love the Word and adhere to the teachings of the Word as no other generation have ever done. The true Zion of God and the everlasting, eternal Jerusalem will be the source of a wave of scriptural truth which will sweep the world with a mighty ground swell, like a great spiritual tsunami. Isa. 2:3
Isaiahís mountain is not the Law, nor is it mount Sinai. The Apostle wrote that the New Testament Christians do not come to mount Sinai, to the Law.
Heb. 12:18-21 Christ fulfilled the Law. He brought the Law to its completion. Rom. 10:4 Now, under grace, we come to the real Sion of God, the chief corner stone, the Lord Jesus and build our salvation on Him. 1 Peter 2:6 The church is to become the last day Jerusalem, called the heavenly, and she will be just that as she enters into the fullness of the Lord. The intent of the Apostle is very obvious as he identified this true Sion and Jerusalem as the assembly of the first born. Those who have their name written in heaven. A group who are fully justified by Christ and have embraced and experienced the maturity, the perfection which is in knowing the Lord Jesus. Heb. 12:23 They are those who participate in the New Covenant. (most definitely not the old). Heb. 12:24 There is no need to try to ìspirititualizeî these things. They are clearly proclaimed in the Word of Truth and will come to pass as the Lord has declared.
Ezekielís words show a spirit of regret upon the people. An attitude which produces repentance when seeking the Lord. He also spoke of the Lord receiving them graciously. Definitely, as in all who come to Christ there is a work of sanctification accomplished in those who return unto the Lord. Eze. 20:41 The beauty of the whole action is that they will come to know the LORD. Eze. 20:42 There is no question but what the establishment of a last day Israel is a part of the plan of the Lord for the two witness are to testify there during the tribulation period. Rev. 11:3 The very presence of these two and the reaction toward them gives evidence that the natural Jerusalem does not change its attitude toward Christ. Rev. 11:3-11 Especially the manner in which they die and then the treatment of their dead bodies.
