Isaiah 2:6-22
6 You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob.
They are full of superstitions from the East;
They practice divination like the Philistines
And clasp hands with pagans.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold;
There is no end to their treasures.
Their land is full of horses;
There is no end to their chariots.
8 Their land is full of idols;
They bow down to the work of their hands,
To what their fingers have made.
9 SO MAN WILL BE BROUGHT LOW
AND MANKIND HUMBLED--
DO NOT FORGIVE THEM
10 Go into the rocks,
HIDE IN THE GROUND FROM THE DREAD OF THE LORD
And the splendor of his majesty!
11 The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled
And the pride of men brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted IN THAT DAY.
12 THE LORD ALMIGHTY HAS A DAY IN STORE
FOR ALL THE PROUD AND LOFTY,
For all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),
13 For all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty,
And all the oaks of Bashan,
14 For all the towering mountains and all the high hills,
15 For every lofty tower and every fortified wall,
16 For every trading ship and every stately vessel.
17 THE ARROGANCE OF MAN WILL BE BROUGHT LOW
AND THE PRIDE OF MEN HUMBLED.
THE LORD ALONE WILL BE EXALTED IN THAT DAY,
And the idols will totally disappear.
18 Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground
From the Dread of the Lord
And the Splendor of His majesty,
WHEN HE RISES TO SHAKE THE EARTH.
19 Men will flee to caves in the rocks
And holes in the ground
From the Dread of the Lord
And the Splendor of His Majesty
WHEN HE RISES TO SHAKE THE EARTH.
20 IN THAT DAY, men will throw away
To the rodents and bats
Their idols of silver and idols of gold,
Which they made to worship.
21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks
And to the overhanging crags
From the Dread of the Lord
And the Splendor of His Majesty
WHEN HE RISES TO SHAKE THE EARTH.
22 STOP TRUSTING IN MAN,
Who has but a breath in his nostrils.
OF WHAT ACCOUNT IS HE?
(Isaiah 2:6-22)
[Isaiah often says “IN THAT DAY.”
This often refers to something in the immediate future
As well as “The Time of The END.”]
The condition of Israel in the time of Isaiah
Parallels the condition of America and the West today.
