Ascent of nations

In the latter days, the mountain of Yahweh’s house becomes the head mountain, and the nations come to it.  They say “Let us ascend the mountain of Yahweh” (Isaiah 2:3).  They are the great ascension offering of the nations arising in smoke to the Lord.

Hence Paul: His ministry to the Gentiles is a priestly task. offering the Gentiles up in smoke to the God of Israel.
