Isaías 2:14-22

14 y sobre todos los montes altos, y sobre todos los collados levantados

15 y sobre toda torre alta, y sobre todo muro fuerte

16 y sobre todas las naves de Tarsis, y sobre todas las pinturas preciadas

17 Y la altivez del hombre será abatida, y la soberbia de los hombres será humillada; y solo el SEÑOR será ensalzado en aquel día

18 Y quitará totalmente los ídolos

19 Y se meterán en las cavernas de las peñas, y en las aberturas de la tierra, por la presencia espantosa del SEÑOR, y por el resplandor de su majestad, cuando él se levantará para herir la tierra

20 Aquel día el hombre arrojará en las cuevas de los topos, y de los murciélagos, sus ídolos de plata y sus ídolos de oro, que le hicieron para que adorara

21 y se meterán en las hendiduras de las piedras, y en las cavernas de las peñas, delante de la presencia temerosa del SEÑOR, y del resplandor de su majestad, cuando se levantare para herir la tierra

22 Dejaos del hombre, cuyo aliento está en su nariz; porque ¿de qué es el estimado

Isaías 2:14-22 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 2

This chapter contains a vision or prophecy of the enlargement of Christ's kingdom and interest, and of the glory of his church in the latter day, by the calling of the Gentiles, and the numerous conversions of them to it, and of the abolition of idolatry, and the destruction of the antichristian party. The inscription to it is in Isa 2:1 the prophecy itself follows; the date of it is the last days; the subject matter of it, the kingdom, interest, and church of Christ, signified by the mountain of the Lord's house; its glorious estate is expressed by its establishment on the mountains; by its exaltation above the hills; and by the great numbers that should flock to it, and should encourage one another to go up to it, in order to learn the ways of God, and walk in them; the means of which is the Gospel preached, that should go out of Jerusalem; the effect of that is peace among the nations: hence the house of Jacob is exhorted to walk in the light held forth by it, Isa 2:2-5 and then the reasons are given of God's rejecting and forsaking some that bear the Christian name, called the house of Jacob; namely, their Heathenish superstition, idolatry, covetousness, and confidence in their riches; who are sarcastically called upon to hide themselves in the rocks for fear of the Lord, Isa 2:6-10 when the judgments of God are denounced on the proud and lofty, comparable to cedars, oaks, mountains, hills, high towers, fenced walls, and ships of the ocean, at which time, Christ, and he alone, will be exalted, and idolatry utterly abolished; the consequence of which will be the utmost dread and terror to all idolaters, Isa 2:11-21 and the chapter is concluded with an exhortation to such to cease from the man of sin, and have him in no account, Isa 2:22.
