Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord

 Isaiah 2:6-21

You, Lord, have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob. They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and embrace pagan customs.

Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty! The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled and human pride brought lowthe Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day, and the idols will totally disappear. 

In that day people will throw away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship. They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty,  when he rises to shake the earth.

Why?

On the day of the Lord, God will revenge and destroy all detestable things and his people.

Because they practice divination like the Philistines and embrace pagan customs. they forgot the grace of the Lord and mercy on them, brought them out of Egypt.

Maybe we won't worship the idols, but maybe we worship the cars, superstars, stocks, money, houses, higher position, our works, etc. These are idols in this generation.

Be aware that only the Lord locate at top of our hearts.  

How?

Turn my heart from this world to the Lord Almighty!
