Quotation к Йешайау 2:4
וְשָׁפַט֙ בֵּ֣ין הַגּוֹיִ֔ם וְהוֹכִ֖יחַ לְעַמִּ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים וְכִתְּת֨וּ חַרְבוֹתָ֜ם לְאִתִּ֗ים וַחֲנִיתֽוֹתֵיהֶם֙ לְמַזְמֵר֔וֹת לֹא־יִשָּׂ֨א ג֤וֹי אֶל־גּוֹי֙ חֶ֔רֶב וְלֹא־יִלְמְד֥וּ ע֖וֹד מִלְחָמָֽה׃ (פ)
И Он будет судить между народами, и будет решать за многие народы; И они будут бить свои мечи в орала, а копья - в прорезей; Нация не будет поднимать меч против нации, и они больше не будут учиться войне.
Gray Matter IV
In fact, the majority opinion in the Mishnah (Shabbat 63a) regards weapons as degrading. The Mishnah notes that when Mashiach will come all weapons will be converted into agricultural equipment (Yeshayahu 2:4). Tragically, our enemies force us to don the “clothes of Eisav” and bear arms to defend ourselves. Although we are grateful that today Jews are able to defend themselves, we would much prefer to eliminate firearms from the face of the earth. Recreational gun use is not compatible with Yeshayahu’s vision.
