Isaiah 66:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 66:21

19 ^aI will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. ^bAnd they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles.

20 Then they shall ^abring all your brethren ^bfor an offering to the Lord out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

21 And I will also take some of them for ^apriests and Levites,” says the Lord.

22 “For as ^athe new heavens and the new earth
Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord,
“So shall your descendants and your name remain.

23 And ^ait shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
^bAll flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

24 “And they shall go forth and look
Upon the corpses of the men
Who have transgressed against Me.
For their ^aworm does not die,
And their fire is not quenched.
They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
