イザヤ書 2:6-9 JC

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:9

The mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself; men of all ranks fall down and worship idols. Forgive them not; cut off these incorrigible idolaters. Such an imprecation is not strange, considering the heinousness and inexcusableness of the crime, the singular condition of the prophets, who spake such things not from any disorderly passion, but by Divine inspiration, and from a fervent zeal for God’s glory, which ever was and ought to be dearer to them than all the interests of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 2:6

GOD’S PEOPLE FORSAKENHebrews 13:5. I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. Isaiah 2:6. Thou hast forsaken Thy people the house of Jacob.How comforting is the Apostle’s assurance! But do not the hope and courage which it inspires die out of us, when we hear this ancient prophet rise and testify, “Thou hast forsaken Thy people”? No! because before there is any light concerning this question in our understanding, our faith tells us there must be a way of harmonising these seemingly conflicting... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 2:6-9

THE MATERIAL AND THE MORALIsaiah 2:6-9. They be replenished from the east, &c.We have here the indictment which the prophet brings against Israel. It consists of three counts:1. That the people had adopted the superstitions of the surrounding nations. 2. That the government had accumulated treasure and organised a cavalry force, in direct disobedience to well-known Divine injunctions (Deuteronomy 17:16-17). 3. That rich and poor alike had abandoned themselves to idolatry. But these verses... 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

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22

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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 2:1-22

Isaiah 2:1 . The word that Isaiah saw. In these distressing times, when the Jewish church and state were shaken to the very centre, the Messiah spoke to the prophet, and showed him the new-testament church, built on a rock; of which it is said, God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved. Psalms 46:5. Isaiah 2:2 . It shall come to pass in the last days. The days of the Messiah, as this phrase always designates. Hosea 3:5. Jeremiah 48:47. Joel 2:28. Ezekiel 38:8; Ezekiel 38:16.... read more

Isaiah 2:6-9Therefore Thou hast forsaken Thy peopleGod never forsaken without good reason“Therefore Thou hast forsaken Thy people.” The term is logical God never forsakes His people in any whimsical way: He is not a man, or a son of man, that He should treat His creatures arbitrarily, moodily, renew full of sunshine in relation to them, and now covered with great clouds, without giving any reason for the change. It is a most noticeable feature in Biblical revelation that when God forsakes men... read more

Isaiah 2:7Their land also is full of silver and goldAn up-to-date inventoryThere is something startlingly modern about this chapter; if you sit down to analyse it, you feel that there is something startlingly up-to-date about the Inventory.What did this proud people make their boast about? 1. The abundance of their treasure; their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. 2. Their shipping and their active commerce all the ships of Tarshish. 3. Their... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 2:8

Isaiah 2:8Their land also is full of idolsIdolsThe philosophic theory of polytheism is “one centre, many emanations.” Iamblicus and Porphyry defend it on this line against the monotheism of early Christianity. Hermes Trismegistus, according to St. Augustine, says the Egyptians regarded images as being merely the bodies of the gods. In India there may be seen any day of the week the ceremony of praying a spirit of Vishnu or of Shiva Into a statue, or into a symbolic stone, by the Brahmin priest.... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 2:9

Isaiah 2:9The mean manThe mean man“Mean” there does not mean selfish or stingy, but the man between two extremes, the mean, average, ordinary man.The mean man and the great man are both bowing--what are they bowing to? Something beneath them; they have lost the sense of their dignity, and they have forgotten that they are kings, and now they are bowing down to things that they ought to control. (J. H. Jowett, M. A.) read more
