Isaiah 2:1-5: The Tallest Mountain of All

Isaiah proclaims a ray of hope as he writes down the Word of God that he has seen. Mount Zion is topographically unimpressive, but it stands as the tallest of all theologically because that is the place where the LORD dwells among His people in His house. The LORD describes the days to come when He will draw all nations to Himself by the proclamation of His Word. As they learn His Word, they begin to walk in His ways as He gives them peace with Himself and with each other. The LORD has brought these promises to fulfillment in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in His Church. Since this is the glorious future that awaits, the prophet calls God’s people to walk in the light of the LORD right now.  Rev. Jeff Hemmer, pastor at Bethany Lutheran Church in Fairview Heights, IL, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 2:1-5.  "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 1-39. The prophet proclaims to the people of his day and throughout history that the Holy One of Israel alone is exalted. Those who put their trust in the strength of man will be brought low, but those who trust in the LORD will see that He is their Immanuel. Jesus is God with us who reigns over the kingdom of God forever and ever! Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: [email protected]
