Micah 4:1-3

International Children’s Bible

The Mountain of the Lord

4 In the last days
    the mountain on which the Lord’s Temple stands
    will become the most important of all mountains.
It will be raised above the hills.
    People from other nations will come streaming to it.
²Many nations will come and say,
    “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord.
    Let us go to the Temple of the God of Jacob!
Then God will teach us his ways.
    And we will obey his teachings.”
The Lord’s teachings will go out from Jerusalem.
    The word of the Lord will go out from Jerusalem.
³The Lord will settle arguments among many nations.
    He will decide between strong nations that are far away.
Then the nations will make their swords into plows.
    They will make their spears into hooks for trimming trees.
Nations will no longer fight other nations.
    They will not even train for war anymore.
