§ 28 We are now entering on the Prophets, the Principal Work of some whereof, was to testify before hand the sufferings of Christ, and the Glory that was to follow, 1 Pet. 1. v. 11. And therefore I do not at all design to gather up in our passage all that is foretold, promised, declared and taught concerning him in them, (a work right worthy of more peace, leisure and ability than what in any kind I am entrusted withal) but only to report some of the most eminent places, concerning which we have the common suffrage of the Jews in their general Application unto the Messiah. Among these, that of Isaiah, Chap. 2. v. 2, 3, 4. occurreth in the first place. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the Mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the Mountains, and shall be exalted in the top of the Hills, and all Nations shall flow unto it: and many people shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord, to the House of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his Ways, and we will walk in his Paths: For out of Zion shall go forth the Law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the Nations, and shall rebuke many people, and they shall beat their Swords into Plough-shares.
