Reading Isaiah 2:1-5 in the Light of YHWH’S Mission: A Linguistic Analysis
View through CrossRef
Scholarly discussions on Isaiah 2:1-5 have centered on the relationship of the passage to its parallel in Micah 4:1-3. As this debate remains inconclusive, there is the neglect of the theological motif(s) the prophet seeks to espouse. A cursory reading of the book of Isaiah may reveal that the author has a penchant for developing themes through paradigmatic expressions throughout his visions. Through a literary and linguistic analysis, this study argues that Isaiah 2:1-5 describes YHWH’s vision concerning His Mountain and the Torah and their importance of mission to the nations. Zion/Jerusalem is the focal point of YHWH’s missionary strategy/work on behalf of all the nations. Zion is a strategic center for the instruction and teaching of YHWH’s law, ways, and words. Both the nations and Israel are to submit to these instructions. To receive YHWH’s blessings, instructions and to benefit from His judgment and rebuke, the nation’s come to Zion in their own accord.
