F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 2:12-22

an Exhortation to Humility and Reverence Isaiah 2:12-22 ; Isaiah 3:1-12 If men will not repent, they must suffer. If they will not voluntarily put away their idols and sorceries, they will be compelled to do so in the anguish of their disappointment with their helpless deities, Isaiah 2:20 . Nothing in that great civilization would be spared. High towers, fenced walls, ships, treasures, armor-all would perish. Their vaunted faith in man would cease. Life would become elemental in its... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:1-22

Following this broad statement of the case between Jehovah and His people, we have the prophet's great appeal to them. The first part constitutes a vision of the latter days, that condition toward which judgment is to proceed. The Lord's house is established at the center of the national life. His law proceeds from Zion to the peoples of the earth. and the issue is peace. The prevalent conditions are seen in the light of that latter day, and the prophet appeals to the people to walk in that... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22

Christ in Isaiah Isaiah 2:1-22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When Isaiah saw Christ in this chapter he saw Him in His Second Advent glory. Peter, in the Spirit, wrote of how the Prophets foretold the sufferings of Christ, and the glory which should follow. In this 2d chapter, Isaiah is given a foregleam of that wonderful hour which yet awaits the earth. He speaks of Christ upon the earth, but not upon the earth to suffer and to die, but the rather to rule and to reign. Let us examine some of the things... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:6-22

The Awful Situation of His People Before Yahweh And Its Future Consequences (Isaiah 2:6-22 ). In contrast with the glorious vision that we have just seen, of Yahweh’s triumph and people flocking to God, is the contrasting scene that follows. It is a scene of unrelieved gloom although still pointing to Yahweh’s triumph. Analysis of Isaiah 2:6-22: a For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:10-22

The Terrible Vision (Isaiah 2:10-22 ). This vision is in direct contrast with the Glorious Vision of Isaiah 2:2-4. On the one hand glory, now, on the other, judgment. Here we have a picture of the destiny of those who fail to respond to God’s mercy. The construction, at first simple, is in fact complicated. From Isaiah 2:10 to Isaiah 2:19 there is a build up from man fleeing to the rocks before the terror of Yahweh and the glory of His majesty (Isaiah 2:10), to his being mightily humbled and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:5-22

Isaiah 2:5-Song of Solomon : . The Day of Yahweh.— A poem dating from Isaiah’ s earliest period, dealing first with the sin, then with the judgment, of Israel. The text has been badly preserved. Probably the refrain which we find in various forms in Isaiah 2:10; Isaiah 2:19; Isaiah 2:21, stood at the beginning of the poem, before Isaiah 2:6 ( Isaiah 2:5 being an editorial link). Another refrain occurs in Isaiah 2:11; Isaiah 2:17, and a variant of it in Isaiah 2:9 and in Isaiah 5:15. Probably... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:22

Seeing God will undoubtedly bring down the highest and proudest of the sons of men into so much contempt and misery, from henceforth never admire nor place your trust in man, whose breath, upon which his life and strength depends, is in his nostrils, and therefore is quickly stopped and taken away. Wherein is he to be accounted of? what one real and valuable excellency is there in him, to wit, considered in himself, and without dependence upon God? read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 2:6-22

A TERRIBLE PICTUREIsaiah 2:6-22Here is the “word” (vision) which Isaiah “saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem” (Isaiah 2:1). The prophet has been enraptured by the wondrous prospect of the distant future, when religion shall be the supreme force of life (Isaiah 2:2), and all men (Isaiah 2:2-3), walking in “the light of the Lord,” shall be at peace with each other (Isaiah 2:4): now he looks down to the present, and how dark and terrible is the picture which he sees before him! He sees—I. A nation... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 2:22

MAN’S INSIGNIFICANCE AND GOD’S SUPREMACYIsaiah 2:22. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?In this verse the whole Bible is summed up. The folly of trusting in man, and the necessity of trusting in God alone, is its great lesson, from its commencement to its close. This is what we are taught—I. By its record of God’s providential dealings with the Jews and other nations. Continually He has accomplished His ends by very different means than man... read more
