God prophesies to "the Mountains of Israel" in Ezekiel 36. To whom or to what does God actually prophesy? Has this prophecy ever been fulfilled? When it is fulfilled what will it look like?
Isaiah and Micah were contemporary prophets of the southern Kingdom of Judah at the time when the Northern Kingdom of Israel was destroyed by Assyria and dispersed by them into the western world. God used Isaiah and Micah as his "Two Witnesses" then to proclaim the coming Kingdom of God, a Kingdom which still has not begun to reign on earth... but God's Kingdom begins soon now... very, very soon.
The Prophecy of God's Kingdom by the two witness Isaiah and Micah, faithful prophets of I AM
Isaiah's Prophecy:
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 It shall come to pass in the latter days
that the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and all the nations shall flow to it,
3 and many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may 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 shall decide disputes for many peoples;
and 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.
5 O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk
in the light of the Lord. (Isaiah 2:1-5, ESV)
Micah's Prophecy:
It shall come to pass in the latter days
that the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and it shall be lifted up above the hills;
and peoples shall flow to it,
2 and many nations shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 He shall judge between many peoples,
and shall decide disputes for strong nations far away;
and 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;
4 but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree,
and no one shall make them afraid,
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
5 For all the peoples walk
each in the name of its god,
but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God
forever and ever. (Micah 4:1-5, ESV)
