Verse 6 - Thou (God) have forsaken (let go, divorced) the house of Jacob (Israel) because they be replenished (fill, restore) from the East (Orient, Asia, by Asian people). Asians may not be part of the said lost tribe of Israel but were ancient people since the earth was divided after the flood and during the time of Peleg. Asians are often neglected in most discussions about who are God’s chosen
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. WOW! great earthquake, great earthquake, in that day.
Verse 2 - "Mountain" means city. The City of the Lord shall be established above all cities in the world, and all nations will go there. God is going to build a great city for his glory.
Jerusalem is mentioned and nothing is said indicating that Palestinian people have any right to it or that ownership will change in the end time. God gives Jerusalem to whom He pleases and that city is special to Him, especially in the end time and that is where Christ will return and rule from there. So who have eyes to see, and ears to hear , take heed.
Verse 4 gives me such hope it is almost incomprehensible. Today's world is so far off that mark; seems demonic forces are everywhere. Truly only He can make nations abandon war. Peace and Righteousness directly from the Prince of Peace. It can't come soon enough for me.
This is a great chapter when jew and gentile shall together come to jerusalem to worship The Lord on Zion. This is the time when righteousness will overcome evil and shalom on earth as it is in heaven.
Hope for the future. Jehovah keeps account of what is happening on the earth. This verse says he has to set matters right respecting many people. We may not receive justice now, but God is aware of the offense and he will correct the wrong. He also promises peace and an end to violence.
Verse 4 shows the promise of global peace soon to come. There is so much hatred and war in the world, but this shows that God is going to cause all wars to cease and the whole earth will live in peace.
This chapter is about the end time. The day of the one fold and one shepherd. Isaiah is telling us about universal pease. The temple is established on the highest mountain. This concerns the second coming of Christ and the unification of the world. This will be the fulfilment of the prophesy by Christ; let thy will done on earth as it is in heaven...
His word is so holy, so righteous, justice and truth...His word calls us all to his truth. His righteousness is so incomprehensible, brighter than the sun..isaiah speaks to the church today to come out of self centered religion, too throw done idols and rend our hearts not our garments....
I don't see the concept of man helping man as being of no value in this chapter. God uses people to help others. A charitable heart pleases God. This chapter tells us what God is going to do with the idols that men have erected and keep for themselves. And what is going to happen to idolaters.
This verse is trying to tell us as Christians no man has value in helping us because he she will one day die,only God can help us because He will do It forever.
Like one if gods commandment said woship the lord your god only bow down to no idol thats as plain as it gets. The world would always hve its disobedient people who choose to do their will against god will you cann lead a horse to water but u cannot make him drink
Divine Michael (Evangelist) on Zechariah 1:16 - 9 years ago
As put forward recently by different scholars of the greatest book ever, man inceasant search on the scriptures enlighten man and gives a better understanding when the holy spirit is leading. The idea of many founders of churches today is a clear drifting away from the original pattern of the great Jehovah. The church of christ was to begin at Jerusalem according to this passage Zech. 1:16, isaiah 2:1 and fulfilled in Act chapter 2, the mixed interpretation of this context is unideal and consequencies are never symbolical, they are real. As such, any denomination that does not have her origin traced back to Jerusalem, and her Dogma in line with the apostolic approved examples, is never a CHURH OF CHRIST. Matthew 16:18Romans 16:16 .
We are strong in the Lord we are built up over unshakeable rock Jesus Christ Himself,who is the fulfillment of this prophecy. Jesus is the Temple of the Lord and his church as well. GBU
why would you not forgive someone that bows down and humbles himself... and if one says that it means bowing down to the idol... then how can one humble himself to the idol... that 's not being humble if your bowing down to an idol... being humble is always a good thing there is no bad type of being humble...???
The Lord uses repetition to reiterate the significance of the Lord our God being lifted up all things in contrast made low. God is worthy to be praised, but compared. He is God and God alone.
...well Jim that would be where you are wrong I was the ... ' 'awakened sinner, ready to leave all that his soul may be saved .. ' 'as Mathew Henry puts it only Jesus was able to get me out of the hole I was in. It would be terrifying to stand in the presence of God 's truth righteousness without the Lord Jesus ... yes he is Lord God incarnate
Mountains signified a place of worship and idols were worshiped at the mountains,in the last days true worship will be found in the house of the Lord.The body of christ will be elevated and established,there shall be revival in the house of the Almighty God and many will flock to the church to worship the true God Isaiah 2vs2 3
This scripture speaks of a time when God will establish peace earth wide. Under his kingdom, a heavenly government, people will not learn war anymore or fight each other.
The Fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom. let us all go to the House of the Lord and give Praise for the things he has done for us. salvation is of the Lord. No one except Jesus Christ can save. This warning is stern and stand sure. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
It just amazes me that people can read these words written a century and more after his death and believe not only in the divinity of Jesus but in some mystical sage of the heavens. Ahh, the last vestige of our prehistoric ignorance.
