A vision of peace and transformation
Isaiah 2:2-5 presents a beautiful vision of a future where all nations will come to the mount of the Lord in Zion. They seek to be taught and guided by God, who will judge between nations and bring reproof. As a result of God's arbitration, nations will transform their weapons of war into instruments of peace, no longer engaging in conflict.
