Summary

Isaiah 2:1–4 – The Mountain of the Lord

What happens: Isaiah sees a future when all nations stream to the Lord’s mountain for teaching. God settles disputes, and people turn swords into plowshares, ending war.

What it means: God intends worldwide peace under His rule. His word reforms society, showing His faithfulness to bring lasting justice and hope that reaches the nations.


Isaiah 2:5–11 – Walk in the Light, Not Pride

What happens: Isaiah urges the house of Jacob to walk in the Lord’s light. The people trust wealth, horses, and idols. God humbles human pride.

What it means: Pride and idolatry darken the heart and society. God alone deserves trust, and He opposes arrogance to restore true worship.


Isaiah 2:12–22 – The Day of the Lord Against Idols

What happens: A coming day exposes all that is lofty, from cedars to towers. People flee into caves as the Lord alone is exalted, and idols prove worthless.

What it means: The Lord is holy and sovereign; all false securities collapse before Him. The wise response is reverent fear and turning from every rival god.


Application

  • Seek God’s word to shape your life and your view of nations.
  • Trade pride for humility; rely on God rather than wealth or power.
  • Throw away modern “idols” that steal your trust in the Lord.

Bible

1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2And it shall come to pass in the last 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 unto it.

3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to 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 law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

6Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

7Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

8Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

9And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

10Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.

11The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

12For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

13And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

14And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

15And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

16And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

18And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

19And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

20In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

21To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

22Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
