Isaiah 2: The Mountain Of The LORD
Isaiah 2: The Mountain Of The LORD Isaiah describes a vision given him by God concerning Jerusalem, capital city of the Israelite tribe of Judah. He describes the city as a mountain of justice and peace, drawing together all nations in earth. Yet Isaiah feels that God has rejected the people of Israel because of their affluent idolatry. He warns the people of God's imminent terror, bringing low the haughty and raising high the LORD. THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD (Verses 1-4) God gave Isaiah a vision of the LORD as the highest of mountains, a source of judgement, justice and peace for all the nations. Isaiah 2:3 (ESV) And many peoples shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. What do you think? In how many different ways is a mountain a fitting description of God?
