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'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'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

Into the meanest and darkest places, in which moles and bats have their abode; whereas before they set them up in high and honourable places, where they might be seen and worshipped. This great and sudden change proceeded either from true repentance, which filled them with shame, and grief, and indignation against themselves, and all the instruments of their wickedness; or from a conviction of the vanity of their idols, which afforded them no help in the time of their need; or from a just fear... 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

Chapter 2Now chapter 2 is introduced again.The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem ( Isaiah 2:1 ).And now God takes him off to the future.And it shall come to pass in the last days [or in the latter days], that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow into it ( Isaiah 2:2 ).So Isaiah goes from the dark, bleak history and now he jumps forward to a day yet... read more
