Passage Read: Song of Solomon 7 - Isaiah 2
Meditation Verses: Isaiah 2:2-3
Thought
This is surely a vision of Jesus' kingdom. The mountain of the house of the Lord, where Jesus is seated upon His throne, this mountain will be raised up above all other mountains, and all the nations will stream to it. They will bring their gifts and treasure, and they will learn the ways of the Lord. The law of God will be the law of all lands. The Lord will again establish not just a nation but an empire and require all nations to walk according to His ways, which He established for Israel long ago. The Law of the Lord will be the law for all nations.
Application
There was nothing wrong with the law God gave Israel through Moses. It was His plan and purpose for all nations, that all nations would see and admire how great was Israel and its law and its righteousness. How near their God! All nations were to stream to it and learn its ways, God's ways. But the law was powerless before sin. Men abused it and ignored it; they did not fear the God described by this law. When a righteous king reigned, Israel did better at following God's law. A day is coming when the most righteous King will reign, Satan will be bound and sin will be held in check. And at last, all the nations will follow God's law. That day is coming, and I can be ready to do my part by training myself now to walk in the righteousness described by the whole Word of God, including the wisdom of the law.
