II. What does Isaiah see in the future?
A. Jerusalem will be the Bible teaching center of the earth. (Is. 2:3)
B. The whole world will worship Jehovah. (Is. 66:23)
C. God will judge all the nations. (Ps. 96:10-13). He will bring justice to all.

Workmen in the Word (2 Timothy 2:15).
As the craftsmen knows and uses his tools.

3. We should be living like God's children, NOW!
James 1:26-27; 2:14 Lives of love and kindness.
