What does 'the mountain of the Lord's house' mean in Isaiah 2:2?
In Old Testament symbolism a mountain represents a kingdom. So 'the mountain of the Lord's house' means the kingdom of the Lord's house—the royal line from David—established in the last days as the top kingdom above all other kingdoms, exalted above the hills, with all nations flowing into it.
Les teaches that in Old Testament symbolism, a mountain stands for a kingdom. He explains Isaiah 2:2 is speaking of the last days, when the kingdom of the Lord's house—that royal line coming from David—will be established at the top of the mountains. That means it will be the top kingdom of the kingdoms, exalted above the hills, which are the smaller kingdoms. Once Israel's Messiah comes and sets up His throne and kingdom in Jerusalem, all nations of the world will be drawn there like a magnet draws steel, flowing into it.
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.
