(8) _Isaiah_ prophesied that in the last days the Lord’s Kingdom will be
established on the ruins of all earthly kingdoms, and all nations will
flow into it to learn His ways, at which time they will beat their swords
into plowshares and spears into pruninghooks and learn war no more (Isa.
2:2‐4); that of the increase of that new Government and of peace there
shall be no end (Isa. 9:7); that nothing in the Kingdom will be permitted
to hurt or destroy, all evil dispositions of men and animals being done
away with, the poor and meek being lifted up and the earth being filled as
full with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea (Isa.
11:4‐9); that Christ will become the standard‐bearer of the people, that
His rest will be glorious and a highway there provided for the remnant of
the people (Isa. 11:10‐16); that the whole earth shall be at rest and
quiet and break forth into singing (Isa. 14:7); that at the time the
pillar to the Lord Is recognized in the world, the world will return to
the Lord and He will be entreated of them and heal them (Isa. 19:22); that
the Lord will make to all people a feast of fat things, doctrines of joy,
well refined, will destroy ignorance and superstition, swallow up death in
victory and wipe away tears from off all faces; it will cease to be a
rebuke to a person to admit that he belongs to the Lord, and all the
people will say, Lo, this Is our God; we have waited for Him and He will
save us, and all the high fortresses will crumble into dust (Isa.
25:6‐12); that when the Lord’s judgments are in the earth the inhabitants
of the world will learn righteousness; that then the trusts shall perish
utterly and the dead shall live (Isa. 26:9, 13, 14, 19); that judgment
will be laid to the line, the truth sweep away the refuge of lies and the
agreement of the preachers on the hell question will be disannulled (Isa.
28:17, 18); that the spiritually deaf shall get their ears open to
understand the harmonies of God’s Word and the eyes of the blind see out
of obscurity and out of darkness, and the crops in the field be so large
they will look like a forest (Isa. 29:17, 18); that the eyes of them that
see shall not be dim, the ears of them that hear shall hearken and the
tongue of the stammerers be ready to speak plainly; that the skyscrapers
will be turned over to wild asses, along with the forts; that the people
shall dwell in righteousness, quietness and assurance forever (Isa. 32:3,
4, 14, 17, 18); that the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick, because the
people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.—Isa. 33:24.
