 Isaiah Chapter 1  The people’s sacrifices(v.11), religious festivals(vv.13-14), and prayers (v.15) were shams. God was not repudiating the sacrificial system(which He Himself had established) but was condemning religious pretense.

 Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.(Isa.1:6). 

Wash and make ourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage
the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. (Isa.1:16-17)

 If you are willing and obedient; you will eat the best from the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah1:19-20)

 

 Isaiah Chapter 2 As in Mic.4:1-5 a description of the millennial kingdom. God’s government (mountain) will be established over all the kingdoms of this world; Gentiles (nations) and Jews(peoples) will do the will of God; justice and peace will reign.

                       

             In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and says, “ Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his path.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 

          He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning books. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. (Isa.2:1-4).

Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made. The Lord alone will be exalted in that day, and the idols will totally disappear. (Isaiah 2:8,17-18)
