P.S. Now, apart from what I have said, please allow an old man’s dream. In one example, Jesus told me of the growing influence of the yeast or leaven in a glob of bread dough. “Till it was all leavened.” In the other example, he told of a seed which grew to the great tree as a great earthly Kingdom in which tree birds (other national groups) find shelter and rest. Both foretell (to me) the possibility of a time when not only people from “Christian” backgrounds, but also people from the non-Christians nations would come to realize that the Great Commandment—The Golden Rule—is the supreme issue before mankind. I dream that a great ecumenical unity will happen! I can only imagine!
You decide. Read these yet-to-be-fulfilled promises by God himself.
Now it shall come to pass in the latter days, That the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war anymore.(Isaiah 2:2–4)

Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples, And rebuke strong nations afar off; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war anymore. But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, And no one shall make them afraid; For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken. (Micah 4:1–4)
I see—someday—on the façade of every government building and on the lintel of every office: “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Jesus Christ.
God’s will—done on earth.
The best way to live.
