Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:17

This he repeats again, partly to assure us of the certainty of it, and partly to fix it deeper in men’s minds, because they are very backward to believe and consider things of this nature. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:19

They, the idolatrous Israelites, shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth; their usual places of retreat in cases of danger; of which see Joshua 10:16; Judges 6:2; 1 Samuel 13:6. To shake terribly the earth; either properly, or rather figuratively, to send dreadful judgments upon the inhabitants of the land. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:20

Into the meanest and darkest places, in which moles and bats have their abode; whereas before they set them up in high and honourable places, where they might be seen and worshipped. This great and sudden change proceeded either from true repentance, which filled them with shame, and grief, and indignation against themselves, and all the instruments of their wickedness; or from a conviction of the vanity of their idols, which afforded them no help in the time of their need; or from a just fear... 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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 2:18

THE GREAT DETHRONEMENTIsaiah 2:18. And the idols He shall utterly abolish.There are a great number of things which would be incredible if they had not actually happened! Men who, like ourselves, boasted of “reason” and “common sense,” sought to settle their disputes and to vindicate their honour by the duel; they have stoutly believed in witchcraft, in “touching for the king’s evil,” and in other absurdities. But surely the supreme folly of which men have been guilty is idolatry. That men... read more

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.
