Isaiah 2:6

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 2:1-22

Spiritual Transformation Isaiah 2:4 Wherever Jesus reigns, this is one of the fruits of His sovereignty. The sword is converted into a ploughshare, and the spear into a pruning-hook. The sword is not destroyed. It is transformed. I. This is the method of Jesus. When I enter the Kingdom of God, and become a member of the pledged and aspiring host, I pass under the active and liberal influence of grace. I bring with me all the powers which I have been exercising in the ways of the world. I bring... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22

CHAPTER IITHE THREE JERUSALEMS740-735 B.C.Isaiah 2:1-22; Isaiah 3:1-26; Isaiah 4:1-6AFTER the general introduction, in chapter 1, to the prophecies of Isaiah, there comes another portion of the book, of greater length, but nearly as distinct as the first. It covers four chapters, the second to the sixth, all of them dating from the same earliest period of Isaiah’s ministry, before 735 B.C. They deal with exactly the same subjects, but they differ greatly inform. One section (chapters 2-4.)... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 2:1-22

CHAPTER 2 Zion’s Future Glory and the Day of Jehovah 1. The glories in the latter days (Isaiah 2:1-4 ) 2. Exhortation to walk in the light (Isaiah 2:5 ) 3.

The Day... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 2:6

2:6 Therefore thou {m} hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are {n} filled [with customs] from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the Philistines, {o} and they please themselves in the children of foreigners.(m) The prophet seeing the small hope that the Jews would convert, complains to God as though he had utterly forsaken them for their sins.(n) Full of the corruptions that reigned chiefly in the east parts.(o) They altogether gave themselves to the fashions of other... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22

GENERAL DISCOURSES The first five chapters of Isaiah form a natural division, to which, for want of a better title, we give that of General Discourses, or messages. The first is limited to chapter 1, the second covers chapters 2-4, and the third chapter 5. But first notice the introduction, Isaiah 1:1 . By what word is the whole book described? What genealogy of the prophet is given? To which kingdom was he commissioned, Israel or Judah? In whose reigns did he prophesy? Examine 2 Kings,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 2:6-16

Divine Accusations Isa 2:6-16 This paragraph is charged with the old complaint against the nominal people of God. They could not live within their appointed boundaries; it seemed to be impossible for them to be content with the divinely-erected altar; they must needs enter into foreign alliances, and into relations with strangers whose religion was calculated to debase the intellect and to deprave the heart. This is the charge of the sixth verse: The people of God were replenished from the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 2:5-9

Here the prophet takes occasion to call upon the Jewish church, from the zeal of the Gentile: and since the heathen is so forward to go up to the house of the Lord, how much more ought the Lord's own people to be alive to this service? Reader! it were devoutly to be prayed for, that both Jew and Gentile were mutually striving for the faith of the gospel. But alas! holy have both sinned, and come short of God's glory! If God's ancient people, the Jews, have forsaken the Lord, what shall we say... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:6

Jacob. Thus the converts address God, (Haydock) or the prophet give the reasons of the subversion of the ten tribes. --- Filled. Consecrated as priests. --- Children. Imitating idolatrous nations, (Calmet) and marrying with them, (Calmet; Septuagint; Theodoret) or even giving way to unnatural sins. (St. Jerome) (Menochius) --- The Jews were not utterly cast off till they had put Christ to death. His Church shall never perish. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:1-9

1-9 The calling of the Gentiles, the spread of the gospel, and that far more extensive preaching of it yet to come, are foretold. Let Christians strengthen one another, and support one another. It is God who teaches his people, by his word and Spirit. Christ promotes peace, as well as holiness. If all men were real Christians, there could be no war; but nothing answering to these expressions has yet taken place on the earth. Whatever others do, let us walk in the light of this peace. Let us... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 2:1-9

The Gentiles Called to the Kingdom v. 1. The word, the prophetic oration, that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, the revelation here recorded extending to the end of the fourth chapter. v. 2.
