Chapter CIX.—The conversion of the
Gentiles has been predicted by Micah.
“But that the Gentiles would repent of
the evil in which they led erring lives, when they heard the doctrine
preached by His apostles from Jerusalem, and which they learned2364

through them, suffer me to show you by quoting a short statement from the
prophecy of Micah, one of the twelve [minor prophets]. This is as
follows: ‘And in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be
manifest, established on the top of the mountains; it shall be exalted
above the hills, and people shall flow unto it.2365
| 2365 Literally, “people shall place a
river in it.” | And many nations shall go, and say, Come,
let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of
Jacob; and they shall enlighten us in His way, and we shall 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 many peoples, and shall rebuke
strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into
ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up a
sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. And each man
shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree; and there shall be none
to terrify: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. For all
people will walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name
of the Lord our God for ever. And it shall come to pass in that day, that
I will assemble her that is afflicted, and gather her that is driven out,
and whom I had plagued; and I shall make her that is afflicted a remnant,
and her that is oppressed a strong nation. And the Lord shall reign over
them in Mount Zion from henceforth, and even for ever.’
