Isaiah 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw
concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2 Now it shall come to
pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's
house Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall
flow to it. 3 Many people shall come and say, "Come, and
let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of
the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall
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 rebuke many people;
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.

Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward That
I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men
shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see
visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on
My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those
days..
Daniel 2:28 "But there is a God in heaven who
reveals secrets, and He has made known to King
Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days.
Your dream, and the visions of your head upon
your bed, were these:
THE FOUR KINGDOMS
The head of fine Gold –
The Babylonian Empire
The breast and arms of
silver – Medo-Persian
Empire
The belly of brass – The
Grecian Empire
The legs of iron and feet
part of iron and part of clay
– The Roman Empire
Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of these kings the
God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall
never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be
left to other people; it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand
forever.
Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven,
raised his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea
and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known
to you, and heed my words. 15 "For these are not
drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third
hour of the day. 16 "But this is what was spoken
by the prophet Joel: 17 'And it shall come to pass
in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of
My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall
see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18
And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they
shall prophesy.
The prophecies of Isaiah 2, Joel 2, and Daniel 2
were fulfilled in Acts 2.
2. It would be an institution “the mountain of
Lord’s house.
The term mountain is used figuratively as a
kingdom in verses like Psalm 76:4 and Jer.
51:25.
2 Samuel 7:12 " When your days are fulfilled and
you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed
after you, who will come from your body, and I
will establish his kingdom. 13 "He shall build a

throne of his kingdom forever.
Matthew 16:18 "And I also say to you that you
are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church,
and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against
it. 19 "And I will give you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on
earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you
loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
3. It would be built at a location “established on
the top of the mountains.”
Hebrews 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion
and to the city of the living God, the heavenly
Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
23 to the general assembly and church of the
firstborn who are registered in heaven,
Hebrews 12:28 Therefore let us be grateful for
receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and
thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with
reverence and awe,
4. It would be exalted above others “exalted
above the hills.”
“It would transcend all the kingdoms of the world
in greatness and grandeur.”
Matthew 13:31 "The kingdom of heaven is like a
mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his
field, 32 "which indeed is the least of all the
seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the
herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the
air come and nest in its branches."
5. It would involve all nations “all nations shall
flow to it.”
Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you; And in you
all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and
let every one of you be baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you
shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 "For
the promise is to you and to your children, and to
all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God
will call."
Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 "teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
3 Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let
us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the
house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His
ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of
Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the
LORD from Jerusalem.
Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes,
they were filled with envy; and contradicting and
blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by
Paul. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said,
"It was necessary that the word of God should be
spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge
yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we
turn to the Gentiles. 47 "For so the Lord has
commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to the
Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends
of the earth.' " 48 Now when the Gentiles heard this,
they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord.
And as many as had been appointed to eternal life
believed. 49 And the word of the Lord was being
spread throughout all the region.
For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the
word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Luke 24:46 Then He said to them, "Thus it is
written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ
to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
47 "and that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in His name to all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them, He
commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but
to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He
said, "you have heard from Me; 5 "for John truly
baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with
the Holy Spirit not many days from now." 6
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked
Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the
kingdom to Israel?" 7 And He said to them, "It is not
for you to know times or seasons which the Father
has put in His own authority. 8 "But you shall receive
power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and
you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Jeremiah 31:31 " Behold, the days are coming, says the
LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel and with the house of Judah -- 32 "not according
to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land
of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a
husband to them, says the LORD. 33 "But this is the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after
those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their
minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God,
and they shall be My people. 34 "No more shall every
man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother,
saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from
the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD.
For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will
remember no more."
4 He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke
many people; 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.
John 12:48 "He who rejects Me, and does not
receive My words, has that which judges him -the word that I have spoken will judge him in the
last day.
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.
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For
they shall be called sons of God.
Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as much as
depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
Ephesians 2:14 For He Himself is our peace, who
has made both one, and has broken down the
middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in
His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of
commandments contained in ordinances, so as to
create in Himself one new man from the two,
thus making peace, 16 and that He might
reconcile them both to God in one body through
the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.
17 And He came and preached peace to you who
were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For
through Him we both have access by one Spirit to
the Father.
• We learned that Isaiah is prophesying about the coming
kingdom/church.
• It would happen in the latter days, which Daniel 2 said
would happen during the Roman Empire and Joel 2 said
that God’s Spirit would be poured out in those days, which
Peter said happened on the Day of Pentecost.
• This kingdom would be established in Jerusalem and its
word/law would go forth from that place, which is exactly
what we see happening on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2.
• It is the greatest kingdom there is because it is eternal
and offers those who are part of it eternal life in heaven.
• It is a kingdom that is available for everyone who will
seek it out.
• When we live by its word/law, we will be at peace.
The kingdom was not set up while Jesus was on
the earth.
Mat. 3:1-3 John said the kingdom was at hand.
Mat. 4:17 Jesus said the kingdom was at hand.
Mat. 6:9 Jesus prays for the coming of the
kingdom.
Mat. 10:7 Jesus sent the 12 out and told them to
preach that the kingdom was at hand.
In Mark 9:1 we learn that the kingdom would
come with power.
Luke 24:44-49 teaches that the Spirit and the
power were to come together.
If we can show when the Spirit came, we can
show when the kingdom came.
In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells the apostles to wait in
Jerusalem to receive power from the HS
In Acts 2:1-4, The spirit came on Pentecost. So,
the kingdom came at Pentecost.
When you read the N.T., you find that kingdom is
spoken of as coming before Acts 2, but after Acts
2, the kingdom is spoken of as present reality
(Col. 1:3; Acts 8:12).
