Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22

CHAPTER IITHE THREE JERUSALEMS740-735 B.C.Isaiah 2:1-22; Isaiah 3:1-26; Isaiah 4:1-6AFTER the general introduction, in chapter 1, to the prophecies of Isaiah, there comes another portion of the book, of greater length, but nearly as distinct as the first. It covers four chapters, the second to the sixth, all of them dating from the same earliest period of Isaiah’s ministry, before 735 B.C. They deal with exactly the same subjects, but they differ greatly inform. One section (chapters 2-4.)... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 2:1-22

CHAPTER 2 Zion’s Future Glory and the Day of Jehovah 1. The glories in the latter days (Isaiah 2:1-4 ) 2. Exhortation to walk in the light (Isaiah 2:5 ) 3. The corruption of the people (Isaiah 2:6-9 ) 4. The day of Jehovah (Isaiah 2:10-22 ) The vision of verses 1-4 is altogether future.

2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to {d} the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the {e} law, and the word of the LORD from {f} Jerusalem.(d) Alluding to mount Zion, where the visible Church then was.(e) Meaning, the whole doctrine of salvation.(f) This was accomplished when the gospel was first preached in Jerusalem, and from there went through all... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22

GENERAL DISCOURSES The first five chapters of Isaiah form a natural division, to which, for want of a better title, we give that of General Discourses, or messages. The first is limited to chapter 1, the second covers chapters 2-4, and the third chapter 5. But first notice the introduction, Isaiah 1:1 . By what word is the whole book described? What genealogy of the prophet is given? To which kingdom was he commissioned, Israel or Judah? In whose reigns did he prophesy? Examine 2 Kings,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 2:1-5

Personal Prophecies Isa 2:1-5 This chapter opens with a very energetic and graphic expression, namely, "The word that Isaiah... saw." There are two most noticeable facts: the first is the testimony of a man whose name is given; and, secondly, here is an indication of the sense namely, sight by which the revelation was perceived. We have a living witness and an eye-witness. These are not anonymous prophecies; they are not papers that were found in the morning before the dew had gone up which... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 2:2-4

The prophet Micah had a similar commission in his day to deliver, and he executed it almost in the same words: see Micah 4:1-5 . There are several very blessed promises delivered by both the Lord's servants, all which had a gracious eye to the prosperity of Zion, in the latter day dispensation; and in the person and salvation of the Lord Jesus, hath been in part fulfilled, and is perhaps now, and will be more and more fulfilling on the earth. The mountain of the Lord's house, means Zion; or... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:1-9

1-9 The calling of the Gentiles, the spread of the gospel, and that far more extensive preaching of it yet to come, are foretold. Let Christians strengthen one another, and support one another. It is God who teaches his people, by his word and Spirit. Christ promotes peace, as well as holiness. If all men were real Christians, there could be no war; but nothing answering to these expressions has yet taken place on the earth. Whatever others do, let us walk in the light of this peace. Let us... read more

The Gentiles Called to the Kingdom v. 1. The word, the prophetic oration, that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, the revelation here recorded extending to the end of the fourth chapter. v. 2.
