Isaiah 2:1-22
In the last days the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Peace will coming.
Come, let go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob.
Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord.
The day of the Lord, the dyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day, and the idols will totally disappear.
Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty when he rises to shake the earth.
Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
Why?
We have hope, in the last days, the Lord will recover all of the world, let evildoer perish and all idols disappear. Only the Lord be exalted.
The last day is terrible days, men flee away from dread of the Lord.
Stop trusting in man, trust in the Lord.
Isaiah looks forward to a coming time of peace when Jerusalem will become the city of God for people of all nations. Human pride is marked for destruction.
Symbols of pride, Solomon used the famous Lebanese cedarwood for his Temple. The ships of Tarshish were great ocean-going vessels, the pride of the fleet.
How?
Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils, of what account is he? Only the Lord I can trust in. He is the king of kings, everlasting King.
Help the needed men, but do not trust in men.
