Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 2:11

Theological / Devotional

The lofty looks. Men have set themselves up in defiance against the God of heaven. They have exalted their own opinions above the decrees of God. In the great reckoning day these proud and haughty men of earth will be brought low before the Lord of heaven (see ch. 13:11).

The Lord alone. Compare Ps. 46:10. When God comes in power and glory all flesh will be as grass before Him. The Lord then will be recognized in all His greatness and majesty for what He really is, the Creator and Sustainer not only of this earth but of the universe. He sits exalted upon the throne of His glory, Judge of all the peoples of earth and Ruler of the universe.

That day. “That day” is “the day of the Lord” (v. 12), when Jesus returns to reign, redeeming His people and destroying the wicked (chs. 13:9; 34:8).
