When the Old Testament prophets spoke of “the latter days,” they could be speaking of the restoration of Jerusalem after the exile, or the first coming of the Messiah, or the second coming of the Messiah, or even the eternal heaven. And it does make reading great passages like Isaiah 2 a challenge, but this prophecy does remind us that because of the grace of God to be revealed during “the latter days,” it changes how we live today. As the prophet said, we should walk in the light of the Lord and His latter day grace by having no other gods before Him, by walking in His ways, words, and promises, by welcoming the nations to the gospel table, by doing all we can to be peacemakers, and by setting our hope fully on the eternal grace of the latter days.
