Isaiah 2: The Mountain of the Lord

Isaiah sees what will happen in the latter days. The mountain of Yahweh's house will be raised above the hills, and all nations will come to it. Many peoples will say they want to go up so God can teach them his ways. God will judge between nations, and they will beat their swords into plowshares and not learn war any more. Isaiah calls the house of Jacob to walk in the light of Yahweh. The people had filled the land with idols and trusted in riches and pride. On the day of Yahweh, the proud will be brought low, the idols will pass away, and Yahweh alone will be exalted.

No More War

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 2 begins with a beautiful picture of the future. In the latter days, the mountain of Yahweh's house will be established on the top of the mountains. All nations shall flow to it. Many peoples will say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths."

God will judge fairly between the nations. Weapons will be turned into farm tools: "They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks." Nations will not learn war any more. So Isaiah calls God's people to walk in the light of Yahweh now.

Then Isaiah describes the people's pride. Their land was full of silver, gold, horses, chariots, and idols. They bowed to things their own fingers had made. Isaiah warns that a day of Yahweh is coming for all that is proud and lifted up. On that day people will throw away their idols, and Yahweh alone will be exalted. The chapter ends, "Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils."

Isaiah 2 · Grade 5

The Day of Yahweh

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 2 places two pictures side by side. The first looks ahead to the latter days, when the mountain of Yahweh's house will be raised above every hill and all nations will stream to it. People will go up eager to learn: "He will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For the law will go out of Zion, and Yahweh's word from Jerusalem. God will judge between the nations, and they will beat their swords into plowshares. Micah 4 contains a nearly identical prophecy.

The second picture shows Judah in Isaiah's own day. The land was full of fortune-tellers, treasure, horses, chariots, and idols. People bowed to what their own fingers had made. Isaiah warns of a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, from the cedars of Lebanon to every lofty tower and the ships of Tarshish.

On that day the loftiness of man will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone shall be exalted. People will cast away their idols of silver and gold to the moles and the bats. The chapter ends with a call to stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils. Between the two pictures stands the invitation: "House of Jacob, come, and let's walk in the light of Yahweh."
