The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:5-11

THE CONTRAST OF THE PRESENT WITH THE FUTURE . Having shown to Israel the vision of a far-distant future, when holiness and peace would reign upon the earth, and "the mountain of the Lord's house" would draw all men into it, the prophet returns to things as they are—first exhorting Israel to "walk in the light of Jehovah' ( Isaiah 2:5 ), and then showing how far they have withdrawn from the light; Such being the case, punishment must come—mean and great must be equally... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:6

Therefore ; rather, for . The prophet, in calling upon Israel to "walk in the light of the Lord," implies that they are not so walking. He then proceeds to give the reasons of this. They are not, "for God has forsaken them, or, cast them off." The first reason is because they be replenished from the east (Revised Version, "they be filled with customs from the east); i.e. they have adopted a number of Syrian, Assyrian, and Ammonite superstitions; e.g. high places, images, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:6-8

National judgments the result of national sins. God's dealings with Israel are to be viewed as a pattern of his dealings with nations generally. He has not two standards of right and wrong, or two rules of action under like circumstances. He is "no respecter of persons." As he dealt with his own peculiar people, so will he deal, so has he always dealt, with the other nations of the world. I. EVERY NATION HAS ITS PROBATION . God proved Israel during the space of above seven... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:6-21

Retribution and its results. In this noble prophetic passage, as charged with poetic grandeur as it is full of religious zeal, we have our thought directed to— I. Two HEINOUS SINS WHICH BELONG TO EVERY AGE AND CLASS . They are these: 1. Disobedience . The divination to which reference is made ( Isaiah 2:6 ) is expressly prohibited in the Law ( Deuteronomy 18:10-12 ); alliance with strangers ( Isaiah 2:6 ) is also forbidden ( Exodus 34:12 ; Dent; Exodus... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:5

O house of Jacob - This is a direct address, or exhortation, of the prophet to the Jews. It is made in view of the fact that God had gracious purposes toward them. He intended to distinguish them by making them the source of blessings to all nations. As this was to be their high destiny, he exhorts them to devote themselves to him, and to live to his honor. The word “house” here means the “family, or nation.” The phrase is applied to the Jews because their tribes were descended from the twelve... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:6

Therefore - The prophet proceeds in this and the following verses, to state the reasons of their calamities, and of the judgments that had come upon them. Those judgments he traces to the crimes which he enumerates - crimes growing chiefly out of great commercial prosperity, producing pride, luxury, and idolatry.Thou hast forsaken - The address is changed from the exhortation to the house of Jacob Isaiah 2:5 to God, as is frequently the case in the writings of Isaiah. It indicates a state where... read more

Isaiah 2:5. O house of Jacob, come ye Since the Gentiles will be thus ready and resolved to seek and serve the Lord, and to excite one another so to do, let this oblige and provoke you, O ye Israelites, to join with, or rather to go before them in this good work. “The prophet,” says Lowth, “addresses himself to those Jews of later times, that should live when the glad tidings of the gospel should be published; and exhorts them to make use of those means of grace which God would so... read more

Isaiah 2:6 . Therefore For the following causes; thou hast forsaken thy people Or, wilt certainly forsake and reject them. The house of Jacob The body of that nation. The prophet here begins his complaint of the state of the Jewish nation, and “assigns the reason of God’s withdrawing his kindness from those of the present age, (as there would be a more remarkable rejection of them under the gospel,) because of their following the corrupt manners of the idolatrous nations round about... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22

Jerusalem as it should be and as it is (2:1-22)God’s people always looked for the day when Jerusalem would be the religious centre of the world, where people of all nations would go to be taught the ways of God. In that day there would be no more war, but contentment and prosperity (2:1-4). (A note on the new Jerusalem is included in the introduction to Chapters 40-66, where the subject of Jerusalem’s future glory is considered more fully.) Such hope for the future is all the more reason why... read more
