Isaiah began his book of prophecy with a Word from the Lord that called out the sin of God’s people. What Isaiah saw was horrible and worthy of a strong rebuke. But it was not the only story he had to tell. As chapter 2 opens, Isaiah looks into the future and sees a glorious picture: the nations coming to the mountain of the Lord to worship God. But that picture was still some time off. Isaiah then looks at present-day Judah and Jerusalem and warns them against trusting in themselves and feeding their pride. This is a warning for the people of God of all ages, including our own. We must remember to be “Trusting in the Lord and Not Man” (Isaiah 2:1-22)
