Isaiah 2:10

 Isaiah 2:10 says, Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.  Isaiah told the people of Judah that they were to enter into the rock, but in this case it was not for assurance but to hide from God since they hadn’t been obedient to Him.  We today are called on to put our faith in the Rock, the unmovable assurance of Jesus Christ, if we have accepted Him as our Savior and Lord.  If we haven’t, there is no place to hide from God to escape His coming judgment.  

Verse eleven adds, The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.  There are many haughty people in positions of power today, but one day, in the life to come if not in this one, they will be brought down low, bowing to Jesus Christ after it is too late to be saved.   

Verse twelve continues, For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:  I believe this means all those who remain proud and lofty by believing that they don’t need God.  They put more faith in themselves and their knowledge than they do in God.  Of course, I also believe that as followers of Christ we should never have an attitude of being high and lofty over other people.   

Verse thirteen states, And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,  Now, Isaiah begins to move on to the idols that people worship.  People may exalt or worship nature, which would include trees, but they are going to be cast down as well when God's judgment came, and this will always be true. No false god will ever save anyone.   

Verse fourteen adds, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,  Isaiah then said that the mountains that people worshipped on would one day fall.  All false places of worship and false gods are going to pass away when Jesus Christ returns.   

Verse fifteen continues, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,  There was to be no protection for the people of Judah as they rebelled against God, and there will be no protection for anyone who does not put their faith in Jesus Christ when He returns to claim His people.
