Isaiah 2:3

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-11

a Vision of World Peace Isaiah 2:1-11 This and the four following chapters must be classed together as a distinct portion of this book, belonging to the earliest years of Isaiah’s ministry. Their date is 735 b.c.; about the time of the accession of Ahaz to the throne. Isaiah 2:2-4 are evidently an ancient prophecy by some unknown seer, for Micah also quotes it. This section presents a fair vision of the future, when the beloved city must become the center of the religious life of the world,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 2:1-22

Following this broad statement of the case between Jehovah and His people, we have the prophet's great appeal to them. The first part constitutes a vision of the latter days, that condition toward which judgment is to proceed. The Lord's house is established at the center of the national life. His law proceeds from Zion to the peoples of the earth. and the issue is peace. The prevalent conditions are seen in the light of that latter day, and the prophet appeals to the people to walk in that... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22

Christ in Isaiah Isaiah 2:1-22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When Isaiah saw Christ in this chapter he saw Him in His Second Advent glory. Peter, in the Spirit, wrote of how the Prophets foretold the sufferings of Christ, and the glory which should follow. In this 2d chapter, Isaiah is given a foregleam of that wonderful hour which yet awaits the earth. He speaks of Christ upon the earth, but not upon the earth to suffer and to die, but the rather to rule and to reign. Let us examine some of the things... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:1-5

Isaiah 2:2-4 is in fact repeated with minor variations in Micah 4:1-3. It is quite probable that Micah received the words from the master. Analysis of Isaiah 2:1-5. a The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:1). b And it will come about in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh’s house, will be established in the top of the mountains, and will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will flow to it (Isaiah 2:2). c And many nations will go... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:1-4

Isaiah 2:1-Numbers : . Zion the World’ s Religious Centre, and the Reign of Universal Peace.— The title in Isaiah 2:1 is a later addition, unrelated to the important oracle Isaiah 2:2-Numbers :. This oracle, with verbal differences, occurs in Micah 4:1-Leviticus : *. It is probably post-exilic. The very high significance attached to Zion is strange in the eighth century; the idea of its physical exaltation is akin to Apocalyptic rather than prophecy. Moreover, Jeremiah 26:18 suggests that... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:3

Shall go; shall not only have some weak desires of going, but shall be ready to take pains, and shall actually go. And say; such shall be their zeal, that they shall not only go themselves, but shall persuade and press others to go with them. We will walk in his paths; they show the truth of their conversion by their hearty desire to be structed in the way or method of worshipping and serving God acceptably, and by their firm purpose of practising the instructions given to them. For: this last... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-5

ISAIAH’S VISION OF THE LAST DAYSIsaiah 2:1-5. The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw, &c.1. The marvellous power of the ancient prophets in giving embodiment and figure to the Word of God. It was a “word” that Isaiah saw; not that he heard, but that shaped itself before his vision, and made him glad, as if a new star had arisen to guide him. 2. Isaiah speaks with magnificent confidence as to the summing up of earthly dispensations. Casting his eye overall the uproar and tumults of... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

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. Ezekiel 38:8; Ezekiel 38:16.... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 2:2-4

Isaiah 2:2-4And it shall come to pass in the last daysIsaiah’s description of the last daysThe description of “the last days”--which in the Hebrew begins, “And it hath come to pass . . . the mountainof Jehovah’s house shall be established,” etc.is an instance of the use of the perfect tense to express the certain future. Its explanation seems to be that the structure of such a passage as that before us is imaginative, not logical--a picture, not a statement. The speaker completely projects... read more
