Reading for April 12th

Read isaiah 2.1-4/ In 2.1-22: Jerusalem: Its destiny and wrongdoing. In verses 1-4: From the time of David's adoption of the city as his capital, Jerusalem had been celebrated as the place to which many nations paid homage and brought tribute (see Ps 2.2-11). This memorable prophecy reinterprets this theme, giving divine assurance that the city will become a center from which God's law will be administered among the nations(the city's name is related to the Hebrew word for peace, "shalom."). Peace, God's purpose for all nations (v. 4) can only come when there is justice. Comments or Questions..
