Are we in the end times- Isaiah 2

                      In the second chapter of Isaiah he speaks further of the things to come in the last days. Isaiah speaks of a mountain that houses The Lord’s temple and that it will be built on the mountain and the peoples will stream to it theologians believe that this may speak to the rebuilding of the temple, on the temple mount in Jerusalem. That many peoples will stream to it to see it and after the Lord Jesus returns and judges the people, swords will be beaten into plowshares and peace will come upon the earth again.

Then Isaiah goes into the future of Israel. He again tells Israel to prepare for being taken over by the  Philistines to the east and the Syrians, that Israel will be enslaved by them as punishment by God for their Pagan rituals they have picked up to be more like the foreigners they brought into their families.  They put the creations of man above the creations of God and above the God who made all things. Again this is much as we have allowed it to be today. As in times of great oppression, the people will have to hide themselves in caves and holes in the ground. Pointing again to the end times and the people attempting to hide themselves from the return of the Lord for they know they have fallen short. As we see in the Revelation chronicles. 

All those who are arrogant and will not be humbled by the Lord, will be laid low and be made ashamed at the way they have oppressed those who believe on Christ. All the great and mighty wonders of the world will not be able to compare to the grandeur of the Lord and His army of believers. So much so that even the inanimate things that people hold in awe of will be humbled by the appearing of the Lord. What man thought to be a great achievement will be like nothing compared to the return of the Lord. All the things we are impressed by will be nothing compared to Jesus. 

The people will run to the caves and hide underneath the rocks to try and escape the Lord. Nothing will work. the book of Revelation says that men will even ask for the rocks and mountains to fall on them and cover them up so God won’t see them.  Isaiah then warns Israel to not trust in Man and the things of man, God is the one who gave him life, what good then are his words?
