Isaiah 2:18

18 And all those sticks and stones dressed up to look like gods will be gone for good.

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 ocean-going luxury liners, against elegant three-masted schooners.
17 The swelled big heads will be punctured bladders, the pretentious egos brought down to earth, Leaving God alone at front-and-center on the Day we're talking about.
18 And all those sticks and stones dressed up to look like gods will be gone for good.
19 Clamber into caves in the cliffs, duck into any hole you can find. Hide from the terror of God, from his dazzling presence, When he assumes his full stature on earth, towering and terrifying.
20 On that Day men and women will take the sticks and stones They've decked out in gold and silver to look like gods and then worshiped, And they will dump them in any ditch or gully,
