Isaías 2

Isaías 2:13-17

Calvin - The Prophet declares that (ultimately) he had his eye on men, when he described the various kinds of loftiness; for God is not displeased with the steep mountains or tall cedars, which He created, but informs us that the whole evil lies in men, who vainly trust to what is high and lofty. In that day - See discussion of the synonymous phrase in Isaiah 2:11-note All that mankind has accomplished will be shown to be only vanity of vanities in that day. What day? In the context this is a reference to the triumphant return of He Who is Faithful and True, the Word of God (Rev 19:11-13-note), our Lord Jesus Christ, when He returns to set up His Millennial Reign. Jehovah alone will be exalted in that day - Mark that word "Alone" which in this context means in essence the Supreme Sovereign! Ultimately this will be perfectly fulfilled when the Messiah returns to rule the world as "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (Rev 19:16-note). It is interesting that the Lxx translates exalted with hupsoo (means to lift up) and translates loftiness (of men) with hupsos (state of being high). The latter think they are "lofty" but Jesus is ultimately the only One Who is "lofty" and worthy of being "lifted up."
