there is obviously a serious danger that texts like Isaiah 34-55, Isa 65:17-25, and Zechariah 14 might be used for nationalistic or sectarian purposes to justify the violent repression of persons who differ politically, ideologically, or theologically. since the earth is to be unified under God's reign and since we are God's people (a religious group might argue), we are entitled to force others to submit to God's purpose by accepting our role in establishing the divine reign.
