on the top of the mountains,
and shall be exalted above the hills,
and all nations shall flow to it.

“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4#Hos 2:18; Joel 3:10 He shall judge among the nations,

The Day of the Lord
6#2Ki 1:2 For You have forsaken Your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are replenished from the east,
and are soothsayers like the Philistines,
and they please themselves with the children of strangers.
7#Isa 30:16; 31:1 Their land also is full of silver and gold,
and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is also full of horses,

from the fear of the Lord
and from the glory of His majesty.

and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12#Mal 4:1 For the day of the Lord of Hosts shall be
upon everything that is proud and lofty,
and upon everything that is lifted up,
and it shall be brought low;
13#Isa 14:8 and it will be upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14#Isa 30:25; 40:4 and upon all the high mountains,
and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15and upon all the high towers,
and upon every fenced wall,
16#1Ki 10:22; Isa 23:1 and upon all the ships of Tarshish,
and upon all pleasant sloops.
17#Isa 2:11 The loftiness of man shall be humbled,
and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
the Lord alone will be exalted in that day;
18the idols He shall utterly abolish.
19#Isa 2:10; Heb 12:26; Isa 2:21 They shall go into the holes of the rocks,
and into the caves of the earth,
from the fear of the Lord,
and from the glory of His majesty,
when He shall arise to shake the earth mightily.
20#Isa 30:22; 31:7 In that day a man shall cast away
his idols of silver and his idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
to the moles and to the bats,
21#Isa 2:19 to enter the caverns of the rocks,
and into the clefts of the cliffs,
from the terror of the Lord,
and from the glory of His majesty,
when He arises to shake the earth mightily.
22#Ps 146:3; 8:4 Cease regarding man,
whose breath is in his nostrils;
for why should he be esteemed?

Isaiah 2
2
Peace That Lasts Forever
1This is the message#2.1 message: See the note at 1.1. I was given about Judah and Jerusalem:
2In the future, the mountain
with the Lord's temple
will be the highest of all.
It will reach above the hills;
every nation will rush to it.
3Many people will come and say,
“Let's go to the mountain
of the Lord God of Jacob
and worship in his temple.”
The Lord will teach us his Law
from Jerusalem,
and we will obey him.
4 #
Jl 3.10; Mic 4.3. He will settle arguments
between nations.
They will pound their swords
and their spears
into rakes and shovels;
they will never make war
or attack one another.
5People of Israel, let's live
by the light of the Lord.
Following Sinful Customs
6Our Lord, you have deserted
your people, Israel,
because they follow customs
of nations from the east.
They worship Philistine gods
and are close friends
of foreigners.#2.6 because … foreigners: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
7They have endless treasures
of silver and gold;
they have countless horses
and war chariots.
8Everywhere in the country
they worship the idols
they have made.
9And so, all of them
will be ashamed and disgraced.
Don't forgive them!
A Day of Judgment
10 #
Rev 6.15; 2 Th 1.9. Every one of you,
go hide among the rocks
and in the ground,
because the Lord is fearsome,
marvelous, and glorious.
11When the Lord comes,
everyone who is proud
will be made humble,
and the Lord alone
will be honored.
12The Lord All-Powerful
has chosen a day
when those who are proud
and conceited
will be put down.
13The tall and towering
cedars of Lebanon
will be destroyed.
So will the oak trees of Bashan,
14all high mountains and hills,
15every strong fortress,
16all the seagoing ships,#2.16 seagoing ships: The Hebrew text has “ships of Tarshish,” which may have been a Phoenician city in Spain. “Ships of Tarshish” probably means large, seagoing ships.
and every beautiful boat.
17When that day comes,
everyone who is proud
will be put down.
Only the Lord will be honored.
18Idols will be gone for good.
19You had better hide
in caves and holes—
the Lord will be fearsome,
marvelous, and glorious
when he comes to terrify
people on earth.
20On that day everyone will throw
to the moles and bats
their idols of silver and gold
they made to worship.
21The Lord will be fearsome,
marvelous, and glorious
when he comes to terrify
people on earth—
they will hide in caves
and in the hills.
22Stop trusting the power
of humans.
They are all going to die,
so how can they help?
