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 (Isaiah 2:4).
This verse is a messianic prophecy and reveals that God in His sovereignty will one day bring about ultimate peace. This peace will be under the authority of Christ. People are literally turned around by the actions of Christ. Christ changes lives. This brings to light the realization that we need to be changed. This change in people must be total and complete in order for true peace to be possible. It is God that ushers in the era of peace, and is possible only once people have been changed. God according to His sovereignty will bring all things under Christ’s dominion.
