Isaiah 2:18
"And the idols he shall utterly abolish."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the idols he shall utterly abolish. The images of saints worshipped by the Papists: after the destruction of antichrist, and when the spiritual reign of Christ takes place, there

will be no idolatry or worshipping of images any more, see Zac 13:2 . The word used for "idols", signifies things that are not, for an idol is nothing in the world, Co1 8:4 these the Lord "will cause to pass away", even all of them, they shall disappear.
