Are you among those streaming to the Mountain of God? Do you want to be? Micah prophesied that is what would happen; during what is most certainly our day ["in the final part of the days"]:
Micah 4:1-4 NWT . . .And it must occur in the final part of the days [that] the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it peoples must stream. 2 And many nations will certainly go and say: "Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. 3 And he will certainly render judgment among many peoples, and set matters straight respecting mighty nations far away. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. They will not lift up sword, nation against nation, neither will they learn war anymore. 4 And they will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making [them] tremble; for the very mouth of Jehovah of armies has spoken [it].
What does it even mean to stream to the mountain of Jehovah? The Bible sometimes refers to kingdoms as mountains. (Jer 51:24-25; Re 17:9-11, 18) Thus, when the Bible speaks of the Mountain of Jehovah being lifted above the other mountains, it simply means the kingdoms of the earth are to be replaced by the Kingdom of Christ. (Daniel 2:44 ; Philippians 2:9-11) With that understanding, Isaiah 2:2-4 makes perfect sense:
. . .And it must occur in the final part of the days [that] the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it all the nations must stream. 3 And many peoples will certainly go and say: "Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. 4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.
How then; can you place yourself among those streaming to Jehovah's Mountain (to his kingdom or house)? There are additional scriptures to help us understand:
(Isaiah 11:6-9) . . .And the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them. 7 And the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down. And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull. 8 And the sucking child will certainly play upon the hole of the cobra; and upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake will a weaned child actually put his own hand. 9 They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.
(Isaiah 12:3-5) With exultation you people will be certain to draw water out of the springs of salvation. 4 And in that day you will certainly say: "Give thanks to Jehovah, you people! Call upon his name. Make known among the peoples his dealings. Make mention that his name is put on high. 5 Make melody to Jehovah, for he has done surpassingly. This is made known in all the earth."
Did you note the Bible teaches the earth would be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah, and that his dealings are made known in all the earth. The earth will be "filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea." To be among those streaming to the mountain of Jehovah then, you must learn what Jehovah's dealings are. From the Bible, you must become filled with knowledge of Jehovah. You must understand our salvation comes through Christ Jesus as Jehovah's established king. (Matthew 25:33-34 ; Philippians 2:8-11 ; Isaiah 9:6-7 ; Hebrews 10:12-13) You must truly know Jehovah, which means among other things: You must fully understand all Jehovah's ways are perfect. (Deuteronomy 32:4) It would then follow that any deviation from Jehovah's way is a turning to badness; and would eventually bring about the same terrible conditions which the sin of our first parents have brought upon us all. Following the pattern set by Jesus, all who will accept life must be determined, without reservation in their mind and heart, never to disobey our heavenly Father. (Hebrews 10:5-7 ; John 5:19 & 30 ; John 4:34) All bowing before the mountain of Jehovah must know any such disobedience will bring harm to all. (Isaiah 48:17) Christ was sent by his Father to fill the earth with knowledge of God, to the benefit of everyone. (Isaiah 48:16-19 ; John 17:26 ; Matthew 6:9-10)
Become a follower of Christ Jesus: Become a Christian. READ YOUR BIBLE!!! By doing this you can place yourself among those streaming to the Mountain of Jehovah! What a wonderful time to be alive! In unity with [the teachings of] Christ Jesus we cry: "Bless Jehovah oh my soul"! (Luke 11:2 ; John 12:28 ; Psalms 103:1-13)
