In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established

Isaiah 2:1-10
The mountain of the Lord and the day of the Lord.
 In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.
You, Lord, have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob. They are full of superstitions (迷信) from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and embrace pagan customs.
Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
In these chapters Isaiah look forward to a coming time of peace when Jerusalem will become the city of God for people of all nations. Before that, God will execute fierce judgment on all sin and wrongdoing.
The practice of magic and foreign alliances both led to idolatry.
There is not Temple in the world, but at the highest place in the last days.
Why?
God has a plan in the future, in the end of the world, there is a mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as the highest of the mountains. It is the way  to God's people and everyone turn to it.
Before the end of the world, God will judge all sin and wrongdoing.
Idolatry is not only the idols but include the work of our hands, people like to proud what we created.
Be humble and always look on to the Lord, for God is my way, God is above all in all.
How?
Be careful and humble ourselves in everything, do not obscured by our own desire and perspectives and experience.
