Isaiah 2:2 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-5

The particular title of this sermon (Isa. 2:1) is the same with the general title of the book (Isa. 1:1), only that what is there called the vision is here called the word which Isaiah saw (or the matter, or thing, which he saw), the truth of which he had as full an assurance of in his own mind as if he had seen it with his bodily eyes. Or this word was brought to him in a vision; something he saw when he received this message from God. John turned to see the voice that spoke with him. Rev.... read more

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

And it shall come to pass in the last days ,.... The days of the Messiah, as Aben Ezra rightly interprets it; and it is a rule laid down by Kimchi and Ben Melech, that wherever the last days are mentioned, the days of the Messiah are intended. The days of the Messiah commenced in the latter part of the Old Testament dispensation, or Jewish world, towards the close of their civil and church state, at the end of which he was to come, Habakkuk 2:3 and accordingly did, which is called the end... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:2

In the last days "In the latter days" - "Wherever the latter times are mentioned in Scripture, the days of the Messiah are always meant," says Kimchi on this place: and, in regard to this place, nothing can be more clear and certain. And the mountain of the Lord's house, says the same author, is Mount Moriah, on which the temple was built. The prophet Micah, Micah 4:1-4 , has repeated this prophecy of the establishment of the kingdom of Christ, and of its progress to universality and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-4

Hope and fear to be both called out as motives by the preacher. Already in the first chapter Isaiah has appealed to both motives, and while for the most part denouncing Israel's sins, and declaring their coming punishment, has taken care to intersperse among these warnings announcements of a more cheerful character (see particularly verses 9, 19, and 25-27). Now, being about to devote almost two whole chapters to denunciations, he prefaces them with one of the most glorious and joy-inspiring... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-4

The golden age. I. THE BLESSED OR GOLDEN AGE A SUBJECT OF EARLY PROPHECY . It is believed that we have in these verses a very ancient oracle, first delivered by the earlier prophet Joel (see Joel 3:10 ), and from him repeated by Isaiah and Micah ( Micah 4:1-4 ). An eternal hopefulness lived in the heart of the great prophets, like a light shining in a dark place, amidst all the scenes of national sin and depression. What has been said of true poetry is to be said of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-5

The promised future: a missionary sermon. I. THAT DIVINE TRUTH WILL KNOW A TIME OF GLORIOUS ELEVATION . The "last days" ( Isaiah 2:2 ) may be distant days, may be "afar off" still, but they are coming ; we are steadily advancing to them. The "mountain of the Lord's house" may be low down today, but it will rise; it may be but as a hill of sacred truth obscured among the mountains of error. But God's high purpose shall surely be fulfilled in time; the day will dawn... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:2

In the last days ; literally, in the sequel of the days ; but generally used of a remote future ( Genesis 49:1 ; Numbers 24:14 ; Deuteronomy 4:30 , etc.). The mountain of the Lord's house ; i.e. the Church, the true Zion, which is to be the antitype of the existing Zion, and is therefore given its material attributes. Spiritually, it would be a "mountain," as "a city set on a hill," which "could not be hid" ( Matthew 5:14 ); and again, as occupying a position from which it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:2-4

PROPHECY OF THE LAST DAYS . The resemblance of this prophecy to Micah 4:1-3 is so close as to necessitate the conclusion either that one of the two prophets copied from the other, or that both copied from an earlier document. The latter view, which is that taken by Rosenmüller, Maurer, De Wette, Meier, and Mr. Cheyne, seems preferable. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:2

In the last days - הימים באחרית be'achărı̂yth hāyâmı̂ym. In the “after” days; in the “futurity” of days; that is, in the time to come. This is an expression that often occurs in the Old Testament. It does not of itself refer to any “particular” period, and especially not, as our translation would seem to indicate, to the end of the world. The expression properly denotes “only future time” in general. But the prophets were accustomed to concentrate all their hopes on the coming of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 2:2

Isaiah 2:2. And Or rather, now, it shall come to pass in the last days The times of the Messiah, which are always spoken of by the prophets as the last days, because they are the last times and state of the church, Christ’s institutions being to continue to the end of the world. See Joel 2:28, compared with Acts 2:17; Micah 4:1, compared with Hebrews 1:1; 1 Peter 1:20. The Jews, it must be observed, divided the times or succession of the world into three ages or periods: the first,... read more
