Work in Heaven (Isaiah)

Paul Marshall points out that Isaiah 2:4, the nations will turn weapons of war into tools of work. In eternity, God will give us work to do to give Him glory.

He shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
and 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 2:4 ESV)

Later in Isaiah

[20] No more shall there be in it

an infant who lives but a few days,

or an old man who does not fill out his days,

for the young man shall die a hundred years old,

and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.

[21] They shall build houses and inhabit them;

they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

(Isaiah 65:20-21; Isaiah 65:22-23 ESV)

[22] They shall not build and another inhabit;

they shall not plant and another eat;

for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,

and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

[23] They shall not labor in vain

or bear children for calamity,

for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the LORD,

and their descendants with them.

(Isaiah 65:20-21; Isaiah 65:22-23 ESV)
