The Lord's House

[Revelations won]

What light can you shed on the below Latter Day prophesies found in Isaiah Chapter2?


Isaiah 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
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.

Question: Where is this house of the Lord that is to be established in the latter days?

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.

Question: What is the location of the Zion spoken of wherein the law of the Lord shall go forth in the Later Days?

Question: How will the word of the Lord issue forth from Jerusalem in the later Days?

4
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Question: Since the above has not yet happened wherein the Lord has not yet issue his words from Jerusalem in the latter days, further the nations have not yet beat their swords into Plow shares, when will this occur?
5
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6
Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7
Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

The Lord's (Jehovah's) house is symbolic Jerusalem (called "the Jerusalem above") which is in heaven. It will "come down" after the Millennium, as it says in Revelation 21:3, not physically, because the Jerusalem above is made up of Jesus and his co-rulers who will remain in heaven, come down by turning special attention toward the earth. We can stream to His "house" by acting on His moral and spiritual standards.

"Jerusalem above is free and she is our mother." (Galatians 4:26)

My response:

By what means have you concluded that his house is symbolic?

2, Revelation 21 makes it very clear that there will bd a new heaven and a new earth as quoted from

“Revelation 21: 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

So according to what John prophesied you JW’s can never come back to the Garden of Eden as your doctrine states..

Neither can you for anyone come back to this present earth. For as John states the Lord will create a NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH for as he states the FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH WERE PASSED AWAY.

So the simple fact is that you can never return to the garden of eden for it like the earth shall pass away.

You should also remember the latter day prophesy of Malachi as found in Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

Even Malachi uttered this prophesy and there is nowhere any indiction that this is in any way symbolic.

Because the Scriptures say that. Jesus said about Jerusalem that he wanted to take them in as brothers but they refused. He said, "Your house is abandoned to you." (Matt. 23:37,38) He also said that "The kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits." (Matt. 21:43) The physical temple would not have any further meaning in his circle of believers. Paul said that the REAL temple was in heaven, the "true tent, which Jehovah put up, and not man." (Hebrews 8:2) And: "When Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come to pass, through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation." (Heb.9:11)

Further: "It is written that Abraham acquired two sons, one by the servant girl and one by the free woman; but the one by the servant girl was actually born in the manner of flesh, the other by the free woman through a promise. These things stand as a symbolic drama; for these women mean two covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which brings forth children for slavery, and which is Hagar. Now this Hagar means Sinai, a mountain in Arabia, and she corresponds with the Jerusalem today, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free and she is our mother." (Galatians 4:22-26) Everything points to the Jerusalem ABOVE as being the real tent, or, temple. The earthly one is symbolic of the one above.
