Acts 1. 6 While they were together, they asked him, "Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 He replied, "It is not for you to know the times and seasons the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends. "
9 When he had said this, he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud hid him for their eyes. 10 Then they stood and stared up at the sky and looked after him as he departed standing with two men in white clothes in front of them 11 and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up to heaven from you, he will come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. "
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is a Sabbath day of Jerusalem.
Isaiah 2 1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amos, had a vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 In the last days it shall happen
that the temple mount will stand
established as the highest of all mountain
and lifting up over the hills.
There shall all the nations flowing.
3 Many people pass by and say:
"Come, let us go up to the Lord's mountain,
the God of Jacob's house,
He will teach us his ways,
and we may walk in his paths! "
For the Lord's law will go out from Zion,
LORD from Jerusalem.
4 He shall reprove between peoples,
judge for many people.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation
and no longer learn war.
