The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #2
2. Internal Meaning of Isaiah, Chapter 2
1-5 The Coming of the Lord, and a new heaven and a new church at that time, are openly treated of, (1, 12, 3)
6-9 because in the former church there is nothing but falsity and evil of falsity. (1, 3, 11)
10-18 The Coming of the Lord is openly treated of; He will destroy all who are in the love of self and in the pride of their own intelligence. (1, 3)
10, 19-21 The last judgment is openly treated of, and the casting down of the evil into hell. (15)
22 Something concerning the separation of the good from them. (15)
Isaiah 2:10-18
10
Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty.
11
The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the haughtiness of men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.
12
For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:
13
For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
14
For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
15
For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
16
For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
17
The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
18
The idols shall utterly pass away.
