Anglican Theologian William Palmer (1803-1885) Interpreting Isaiah 2:2 as a Prophecy of the Visible Church

  

That the church of Christ was to be emmently conspicuous and visible we collect from the following words of the Prophet Isaiah “It shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it” (Isa. ii 2). This shows that the church of Christ was to be visible and known to all the world. (William Palmer, A Treatise on the Church of Christ: Designed Chiefly for the Use of Students in Theology, 2 vols. [3d ed.; London: J. G. F. & J. Rivington, 1842], 1:22)
