On Isaiah 2:3 – “Two points must be stressed. First, God and God alone can teach the truth,
for He alone is the source and foundation of truth. Hence, those who proclaim the Word of God
must exercise supreme care that what they preach is the Word of God. This can be accomplished only when the
messenger basis his message squarely upon and makes it consonant with the Word
of God, the Bible. When the minister
preaches, God must be heard. Secondly,
this passage teaches that what unbelievers need above all else is teaching or
doctrine. What blinds the understanding
of men is ignorance and ignorance can only be dispelled by truth. Hence, the missionary and evangelistic
activity of the church must be doctrinal in character.” -- E. J. Young, The Book of Isaiah, vol. 1, 105.
