The Future House of God
cThat the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
a“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
bFor out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning1 hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
The Day of the Lord
Because they are filled awith eastern ways;
They are bsoothsayers like the Philistines,
cAnd they1 are pleased with the children of foreigners.

Isaiah 2:1
The word - This indicates that this is the commencement of a new prophecy. It has no immediate connection with the preceding. It was delivered doubtless at a different time, and with reference to a different class of events. In the previous chapter the term "vision" is used Isaiah 2:1, but the meaning is substantially the same. The term "word" dâbâr , denotes a "command, a promise, a doctrine, an oracle, a revelation, a message, a thing," etc. It means here, that Isaiah foresaw certain "future events" or "things" that would happen in regard to Judah and Jerusalem.
Judah ... - see the notes at Isaiah 1:1.
