How do Catholics interpret Isaiah 2:4? I quote the verse:


  He [The Lord] shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes 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 anymore.


The chapter this verse comes from seems to describe an earthly reign of God, in contradiction with the Catholic doctrine.

Any idea how the verse could be interpreted?
A Catholics Answer

Isaiah's prophetic warning was for Judah and Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:1 It was fulfilled with the Babylonian captivity. It was again fulfilled when the Romans toppled Jerusalem. Isaiah's warning is for all God's children, even today. Do not allow your gluttonous desire for things of this world kill your desire to worship and serve the LORD your God, by doing His will among you.

There is no mention what so ever in Isaiah Chapter 2 of an earthly reign of God.  

Pre-melenialism Rapture Theology is a man made tradition and a false doctrine.
