Isaiah 2:1-22.
Isaiah 2.1-22
Peace That Lasts Forever
"This is the message that I was given about Judah and Jerusalem: In
the future, the mountain with the Lord's temple will be the highest of
all. It will reach above the hills; every nation will rush to it. Many
people will come and say, "Let's go to the mountain of the Lord God of
Jacob and worship in his temple." The Lord will teach us his Law from
Jerusalem, and we will obey him. He will settle arguments between
nations. They will pound their swords and their spears into rakes and
shovels; they will never make war or attack one another. People of
Israel, let's live by the light of the Lord.
Following Sinful Customs
Our Lord, you have deserted your people, Israel, because they follow
customs of nations from the east. They worship Philistine gods and are
close friends of foreigners. They have endless treasures of silver and
gold; they have countless horses and war chariots. Everywhere in the
country they worship the idols they have made. And so, all of them
will be ashamed and disgraced. Don't help them!
A Day of Judgment
Every one of you, go hide among the rocks and in the ground, because
the Lord is fearsome, marvelous, and glorious. When the Lord comes,
everyone who is proud will be made humble, and the Lord alone will be
honored. The Lord All-Powerful has chosen a day when those who are
proud and conceited will be put down.The tall and towering cedars of
Lebanon will be destroyed. So will the oak trees of Bashan, all high
mountains and hills, every strong fortress, all the seagoing ships,
and every beautiful boat. When that day comes, everyone who is proud
will be put down. Only the Lord will be honored. Idols will be gone
for good. You had better hide in caves and holes— the Lord will be
fearsome, marvelous, and glorious when he comes to terrify people on
earth. On that day everyone will throw to the rats and bats their
idols of silver and gold they made to worship. The Lord will be
fearsome, marvelous, and glorious when he comes to terrify people on
earth— they will hide in caves and in the hills.
Stop trusting the power of humans. They are all going to die, so how
can they help?"
God bless you.
