In days to come the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest of the mountains…
—Isaiah 2:2 (NRSVUE; full passage)

My question: is this day that is being referred to just fulfilled in Christ’s first coming or second coming? The Reformed view is at the second coming. The view I have resonated with is that this is being established in Christ’s first coming. It has been made the biggest mountain. Or rather, the foundation of it has been established and it is ever growing in this world. Once it is the biggest mountain in the world, then Christ will return and it will be done.
