Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Sounds good, sounds right, let us go to the mountain of the Lord. Before you pack your bags, allow me to point out one minor flaw in that plan.

Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

These are not the last days and the Lord has not taken up residence in the mountain of the Lord. Granted it seems like these are the last days to those who have not understood the proper order of the prophetic history of our future. Prophesy is scattered throughout the bible and it has order, even if it seems chaotic. It seems that way if you read into it what you want to get out of it.

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

The classic example of wishful thinking prophesy is this verse. I’m ready, its time, come Jesus come. Where do you stand in the prophetic history of the bible? The church age is the greatest mystery in the bible. Even Jesus did not know when that time would come.

Matthew 24:35-36 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
