Isaiah 2:1 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 2:1

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw
That is, the vision which he saw, for a new one here begins, though agreeable to what goes before; or the prophecy of future things, which he had given to him in a visionary way. The Targum paraphrases it,

``the word of prophecy, which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prophesied:''

or the thing, the "decree", as some choose to render it, the purpose of God concerning things to come, which was revealed to the prophet, and he here declares:

concerning Judah and Jerusalem;
the church and people of God, and what should befall them and their enemies in the latter day: this inscription stands for this and the three following chapters.

Isaiah 2:1 In-Context

1 The Message Isaiah got regarding Judah and Jerusalem:

2 There's a day coming when the mountain of God's House Will be The Mountain - solid, towering over all mountains. All nations will river toward it, people from all over set out for it.

3 They'll say, "Come, let's climb God's Mountain, go to the House of the God of Jacob. He'll show us the way he works so we can live the way we're made." Zion's the source of the revelation. God's Message comes from Jerusalem.

4 He'll settle things fairly between nations. He'll make things right between many peoples. They'll turn their swords into shovels, their spears into hoes. No more will nation fight nation; they won't play war anymore.

5 Come, family of Jacob, let's live in the light of God.
