Better Days Ahead for Jerusalem

And in future days[a] the Lord’s Temple Mount will be the most important mountain of all;[b]
it will be more prominent than other hills.[c]
People will stream to it.
Many nations will come, saying,
“Come on! Let’s go up to the Lord’s mountain,

the Lord’s message from Jerusalem.
