Happy is the man that doeth THIS, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the Sabbath (7th day) from profaning it and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. Neither let the STRANGER that hath Joined himself TO YHVH say: ‘YHVH will surely separate me from His people’… also the STRANGERS that Join themselves to YHVH to minister unto HIM, and to love the NAME of YHVH, to be HIS servants, everyone that keepeth the Sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by my Covenant: even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices SHALL BE acceptable upon Mine altar; (see Ezekiel from chap.40 to end.) for My house shall be called a house of prayer for ALL THE PEOPLES, saith YHVH Almighty who gathereth the dispersed of Israel: yet will I gather others to him, beside those of him that are gathered.» Isaiah 56:1-8.

And many peoples shall go and say: ‘come ye and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the Almighty One of Jacob; and He will teach us HIS ways, and we will walk in HIS paths’ for out of ZION shall issue INSTRUCTION and the WORD of YHVH from Jerusalem. And He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide 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 any more.» Isaiah 2:1-4.
