"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
Micah 4:1-2
This is another one about the idea of God ruling the earth in person. I love mountains, so that whole idea is awesome, but it also makes God's house seem really huge: "the mountain of the house of the Lord." But a huge house just means that we can go and visit him, which it hints at later, because people are talking about going there so that he can teach them.
Now of course a lot of this could be totally symbolic, and likely is talking about temples to some extent. You never know though, some could be about some actual mountains, which would be cool. What I like the most here is that the whole idea seems more personal to me when I imagine being able to just go to God's house and see him in person. Temples are like that in a way, but I was imagining more like going to my grandparent's house and being able to stay the night and hang out with them. Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to do that with God? :)
Today, let's go to the Lord and learn of his ways, and walk in his paths... and look forward to the day when we can meet face to face.
