The lofty looks
Isaiah 2:11 “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.”
The next verse speaks of “The day of the Lord.” Whatever this day (or these days) are, they are certainly a time when God will make His authority and rule known.
This is a time in which men will understand their position and His. There will be no confusion.
None will be capable of maintaining their arrogance. Men will bow down in lowliness and humility.
Those who believed they could be their own god will realize the truth.
They will take no glory due to Him. Only He will be exalted in that day.
Whether men are humbled by their belief in and submission to God alone, or they are humbled when they come to grips with their condemnation for rejecting Him – all will be humbled.
Lofty looks will be cast down.
The believing will bow before Him in worship and adoration. The unbelieving in submission to His authority. But all will bow.
Isaiah 2:11 “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.”
