Isaiah 60:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 60:1

The Gentiles Bless Zion

1 Arise, ^ashine;
For your light has come!
And ^bthe glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.

3 The ^aGentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

4 “Lift^a up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, ^bthey come to you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.

5 Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because ^athe abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.

6 The multitude of camels shall cover your land,
The dromedaries of Midian and ^aEphah;
All those from ^bSheba shall come;
They shall bring ^cgold and incense,
And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord.

7 All the flocks of ^aKedar shall be gathered together to you,
The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;
They shall ascend with ^bacceptance on My altar,
And ^cI will glorify the house of My glory.

8 “Who are these who fly like a cloud,
And like doves to their roosts?
