Isa 2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

This is telling us Jesus will judge the nations and that there will be peace during the millennium. All of the weapons of war will be destroyed and war will not be taught anymore. Truly it will be peace on earth and good will towards me.

Isa 13:11 And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

Mankind will be humbled in the Kingdom ruled by Christ. Those who are evil or wicked or arrogant will be punished and even killed when they will not change their ways.

Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

While we may not like to think about it, this is telling us that unlike Ezek 39 when the bodies are buried in 7 months, those who die as a punishment during the kingdom for their transgressions will have their bodies laying on the ground for a long time preserved as a warning to everyone else not to transgress God's Word.

Ecc 8:13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong [his] days, [which are] as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

This is a reminder that the wicked cannot prolong their lives. Their life will be short as a shadow if they do not fear before God. Lack of fear results in disobedience.

Ezek 20:38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Here is a very clear warning. There is a day coming when God will not tolerate those who rebel against His will. Those who transgress against Him will not be allowed to enter the Kingdom of God. Since the kingdom is world wide, there will be no place left for them but death. Then the rest of us will know that He is the Lord.

Psa 104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Here we are being told how the Kingdom is going to be peaceful. Everyone who is going to be sinners or wicked who could destroy the peace will be consumed or killed. Those who persist in being wicked or doing evil will not be allowed to live in the Kingdom of God. Thus there will be peace in the Kingdom.

Isa 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

Here we are told about Christ and how He will judge in the Kingdom. Unlike how it works in the world now, it will not be possible to get by with just lip service. Saying smooth words to Him will not help you. It is only by having the fear of the Lord in your life resulting in loving obedience that will give Him delight in you, both now and in the Kingdom.

Isa 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

This will be a new experience for everyone living on the earth. The wicked will not be tolerated. As they are identified, they will loose their lives. Perhaps there will be a warning given once or twice but then He shall slay the wicked. As soon as those who want to live in a wicked way in the eyes of the Lord refuse correction, they will loose their lives.

Prov 2:21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

Here is the way to life in the Kingdom; we need to be upright and blameless in all that we do.

Prov 2:22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Again god is very clear what He wants and what will happen to us if we do not want to do what He wants. The wicked will be cut off and the unfaithful will be uprooted from the earth.
