BRIEF COMMENTARY ON THE LESSONS
Lesson 1: Isaiah 2:1--5 (C, RC, E, L)
Though this passage may have been written by Isaiah, it appears to be out of context. It seems to better reflect the theology and mood of second or third Isaiah. Isaiah 1 is an indictment concerning the sinfulness of the people. The verses following our pericope pick up the theme of judgment. However, our text is a triumphant vision of the distant future when the temple in Jerusalem would be the focal point for universal peace, knowledge, and righteousness. The passage is found also in Micah 4:1--3.
