In the first Isaiah reference, though, 2:2 makes clear that this refers to the "last days." Perhaps the difference is that you believe there will be only a SINGLE coming of the Messiah?

Precisely, and that his arrival will herald (is the beginning of) the 'last days'. There is a difference of opinion (probably analogous to that between pre-, post- and a- millenial Christians) about the timeframe between the arrival of mashiach and the 'end of days'.

Okay. I appreciate the dialog. Is there a specific reference that you base the single-coming belief on, or is based on an absence of specific reference to multiple "comings?" Hope that makes sense, LOL.
