イザヤ書 2:10-21 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 2:10-22

The prophet here goes on to show what a desolation would be brought upon their land when God should have forsaken them. This may refer particularly to their destruction by the Chaldeans first, and afterwards by the Romans, or it may have a general respect to the method God takes to awaken and humble proud sinners, and to put them out of conceit with that which they delighted in and depended on more than God. We are here told that sooner or later God will find out a way, I. To startle and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:10

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust ,.... As it was when Rome Pagan was destroyed, the kings, princes, and freemen called to the rocks to fall on them and hide them, Revelation 6:15 so it will be at the downfall of Rome Papal, when the kings and merchants of the earth, who have been concerned therewith, will stand afar off, as for fear of her torment, Revelation 18:10 . so for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty ; lest he should pour out his wrath and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:11

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled ,.... Particularly of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, assuming that to himself which belongs to God; looking down with contempt upon, and behaving haughtily and insolently to all below him; blaspheming the name of God, his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven; he shall be humbled, consumed, and destroyed with the breath of Christ's mouth, and the brightness of his coming, 2... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:12

For the day of the Lord of hosts ,.... Which is peculiarly his, which he has fixed and appointed, and in which there will be a great display of the glory of his power and grace: this shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up, and he shall be brought low ; either the day of his mighty power and efficacious grace shall be upon them to convert them; when they who thought themselves in a good estate, rich, and standing in need of nothing,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:13

And upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up ,.... That is, upon the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication with Babylon, and will join with the beast and false prophet in making war with the Lamb. So the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, interpret it of the kings of the nations, mighty and strong: and upon all the oaks of Bashan ; nobles, princes, governors of provinces, as the same writers explain the words, oaks being inferior to cedars: the day of the Lord... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:14

And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up. By which may be meant either kingdoms and cities belonging to the Roman jurisdiction, or churches and monasteries, and such like religious houses, and the dissolution of them. See Revelation 16:20 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:15

And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall. Which may signify everything that serves to support and defend the antichristian hierarchy, particularly the secular powers. The Targum paraphrases it, "and upon all that dwell in a high tower, and upon all that reside by a fortified wall.' read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:16

And upon all the ships of Tarshish ,.... Upon all the merchants and merchandises of Rome. The Targum is, "and upon all that dwell in the islands of the sea.' See Revelation 16:20 . Tarshish, as Vitringa observes, designs Tartessus or Gades in Spain, which must bring to mind the memorable destruction of the Spanish Armada in 1558, as he also notes. And upon all pleasant pictures ; of Christ and the Virgin Mary, of angels, and of saints departed, the Papists make use of to help their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:17

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down ,.... This, with what follows in this verse, is repeated for the confirmation and certainty of it; and also for the further explanation of what is before figuratively and metaphorically expressed. See Gill on Isaiah 2:11 . Jarchi interprets "that day", here spoken of, of the day of judgment; and then indeed every tongue shall confess, whether they will or not, that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father, Philemon 2:11 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:18

And the idols he shall utterly abolish. The images of saints worshipped by the Papists: after the destruction of antichrist, and when the spiritual reign of Christ takes place, there will be no idolatry or worshipping of images any more, see Zechariah 13:2 . The word אלילים , used for "idols", signifies things that are not, for an idol is nothing in the world, 1 Corinthians 8:4 these the Lord "will cause to pass away", even all of them, they shall disappear. read more
