Things do change...even in our daily lives...don't think for a moment the Lord is sitting in the background somewhere while we are forced to "squirm out some menial, meaningless life".
Go to the Mountain...and learn of Him! Gleaning from Isaiah 2:1-9...
" This is a vision, a message that Isaiah the son of Amoz actually saw and heard...concerning the land of Judah and her prized possession...Jerusalem!
In the future, in the last days, there will be a mountain that is the dwelling place of the Lord God. This will be the mountain many will choose to come and climb.
You see, all nations have this idea their no-name gods live in mountains, but now reality has set in. There is only One God...One Mountain...and their no-name gods are not it! There is only One True God who lives in the mountain...Mount Zion...the home of our God!
This mountain of the True God towers above all others, those no-name gods who live in "puny hills" are nothing compared to His Majesty! At that time you will hear the people all over the world say; " Let's go to the True Mountain, the Mountain of the Lord God...the God of the house of Jacob! It is at that Mountain we can learn of His Ways, follow His Path, adhere to His Mighty Commands, and obey His Words....and it all comes through His beloved city: Jerusalem!"
The Lord Himself will be the Mediator and make things right between the nations. International disputes will find solutions...because they seek the counsel of the "Ever-Wise One!"
Then, these nations who had been at severe odds will do a peculiar thing: they will take hammers and transform their swords which were at one time raised against one another, and make them into...plowshares!...giving food to the poor and feeding all those less fortunate!
Even their spears will be made into pruning hooks and hoes, providing fertile crops...for anyone in need!
Nations will cease to rise up against one another, the "Declaration of War" announcements will be a thing of the past. Nations will no longer train their sons in the Act of War.
And you of the House of Jacob, come and let us walk together...in My Home..the Home of your True Lord and King!
Although I did reject you, because of all your enticement and the filling of your land with the practices of the East...sorcerers and fortune tellers and the like, mimicking others and their ways of "worship", I now open my doors to you, and say "Welcome!"
Look at the Philistines, the "sailors of the sea"...they listened to every "new idea" on the latest "god" that a ship would bring into their own harbors.
And Israel, they got so wrapped up in these "new-found no-name gods",they even made alliances and pacts of "honor" with these pagans and their evil rituals.
And then, Israel thinking and saying: "Look, have we not become wealthy since forming these new alliances? We are "rolling" in silver and gold...our National Treasury has no end! We now have war horses...and look at all our chariots...you can't even count how many we have...we don't have numbers that go that high!"
And their idols! Their land is full of stench from these numerous idols spread all over their land. You want to know what makes this idol worship Israel is so proud of...entirely stupid? They made these no-name god trinkets with their own hands!...and then worship them!
Now, Israel seeks forgiveness...the common man has been brought lower than the idol he worships, the great leaders of the land now admitting the shame and disgrace of the chosen course they followed. I say, leave them go O Lord...let Israel not be raised again!
