Commentary on Isaiah 11:9

Theological / Devotional

My holy mountain. That is, the kingdom of Christ, which will fill the entire world (Dan. 2:35). It will be holy because God is holy and because its inhabitants will share His nature. There they will neither hurt nor destroy, because the interests of one will not conflict with those of another. The well-being of each will be the well-being of all. Selfishness will be a thing of the past. The only thought of man will be to do good unto his neighbor and to live to the glory of God.

The earth shall be full. Compare Hab. 2:14. One pulse of harmony will beat throughout the vast universe (GC 678).
