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. When Israel is converted and in possession of the land, when once more a house of Jehovah will stand in Israel’s land, then this great prediction will be fulfilled. Compare withMicah 4:1-5 5 .

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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:2

Days. The whole time of the new law, from the coming of Christ till the end of the world, is called in the Scripture the last days; because no other age, or time shall come after it, but only eternity. (Challoner) --- It is therefore styled the last hour, 1 John ii. (Worthington) --- Mountains. This shews the perpetual visibility of the Church of Christ: for a mountain upon the top of mountains cannot be hid. (Challoner) --- This evidently regards the Church, Matthew v. (Worthington) --- The... 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 Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 2:1-9

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. And it shall come to pass in the last days, in the Messianic age, which precedes the end of the world, that the mountain of the Lord's house, that is, Zion or Jerusalem, the kingdom of God, shall be established in the top of the mountains, towering high above every human... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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
