Isaiah 2:2,Micah 4:1

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 2:2

THE LAST DAYS‘And it shall come to pass in the last days.’ Isaiah 2:2 These words are in themselves of sufficient importance and interest to justify our separating them from their context to concentrate our attention on them. The expression ‘last days’ may be traced from the dying words of Jacob on the coming of the Shiloh ( Genesis 49:1) through the words of Balaam the son of Beor ( Numbers 24:14; Numbers 24:17) (and its use, with a more limited reference, in some parts of Scripture), right... 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 2:2

And; or, now, as this particle is rendered, 1 Samuel 9:1; Ezra 1:1, &c. In the last days; in the times of the Messias or the gospel, as the generality both of Jewish and Christian writers understand it, and as may further appear both from the use of this phrase in this sense, Jeremiah 48:47; Jeremiah 49:39; Ezekiel 38:8,Ezekiel 38:16; Daniel 10:14; Hosea 3:5; Acts 2:17; Hebrews 1:2; 1 John 2:18, and from the conversion of the Gentiles here promised, which was not to be till that time; and... 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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 2:2

THE FUTURE TRIUMPHS OF THE GOSPELIsaiah 2:2. And 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 all nations shall flow unto it.This poetic imagery delineates the final and universal prevalence of religion. Christianity is a temple majestic and conspicuous, and all nations crowd its courts in united adoration. There are many interesting indications that this prophecy is soon to be fulfilled, such as—I. The... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:2

Isaiah 2:2 When Christ came and took possession of His own house, it could not be but that some great changes would take place in its economy and its condition. And such there were. It was exalted and established above all earthly power, and became a refuge and home for all ages. It remained what it had been before, a Church, in its inward and characteristic structure the same; but it became what it had never been before, or only in a partial measure in the time of David and some other princes,... read more
