Why would the nations come and learn something no longer needed?
The reader wants to be able to explain “Why would the nations come and learn something no longer needed?” from the Torah or prophetic passage Paul invokes, its original legal/covenantal function, and the exact logical step Romans adds without relying on denominational authority or counter-missionary slogans.
What this article established
Isaiah 2 and Micah 4 picture the nations streaming to Zion because Torah and the word of Hashem go forth from there. That does not prove every Mosaic command applies identically to every Gentile. It does refute the careless claim that Torah becomes a useless relic in the messianic future.
- Verified: Isaiah 2 and Micah 4 depict nations coming to Zion to learn God’s ways.
- Verified: the reason given is that Torah and the word of Hashem go forth from Zion/Jerusalem.
- Verified: the prophetic future retains Israel, Zion, Jerusalem, and the nations as meaningful categories.
- Unsupported: the claim that these passages require every Gentile to assume every Israelite covenant obligation.
- Contradicted by the prophetic picture: the blanket claim that Torah becomes useless, spiritually dead, or unnecessary in the messianic future.
The question that still remains
Beyond “Why would the nations come and learn something no longer needed?”, can the larger claim be established across Romans tested under stable Torah categories and legal terms while the Torah or prophetic passage Paul invokes, its original legal/covenantal function remains controlling?
