Every
valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and
the rugged shall be made level, and the rough places a plain. Isaiah 40:4
When the prophets speak of the Messianic era, they talk of
an age of beauty. Isaiah does not envision a flat world, with no Grand Canyon and
no Rocky Mountains, a monotonous planet, deprived of the beauty of nature. Rather,
Isaiah refers to the human landscape, and visualizes a time of social justice
and true equality. The mountains and valleys of nature will remain, but there
will be a leveling off among people, with no one thinking of himself as higher
than his fellow man, nor will any person see himself on a lower stage than
others, which will change human nature to establish the true and lasting
equality of Mankind.
