Isaiah 2:18

18 The idols will vanish completely.

Isaiah 2:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 2:18

And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
] The images of saints worshipped by the Papists: after the destruction of antichrist, and when the spiritual reign of Christ takes place, there will be no idolatry or worshipping of images any more, see ( Zechariah 13:2 ) . The word (Mylyla) , used for "idols", signifies things that are not, for an idol is nothing in the world, ( 1 Corinthians 8:4 ) these the Lord "will cause to pass away", even all of them, they shall disappear.

Isaiah 2:18 In-Context

16 against every ship of Tarshish, and against every splendid sea vessel.
17 So human pride will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
18 The idols will vanish completely.
19 People will go into caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the Lord and from His majestic splendor, when He rises to terrify the earth.
20 On that day people will throw their silver and gold idols, which they made to worship, to the moles and the bats.
