イザヤ書 60:14-22 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 60:9-14

The promises made to the church in the Isa. 60:1-8 are here repeated, ratified, and enlarged upon, designed still for the comfort and encouragement of the Jews after their return out of captivity, but certainly looking further, to the enlargement and advancement of the gospel church and the abundance of spiritual blessings with which it shall be enriched. I. God will be very gracious and propitious to them. We must begin with that promise, because thence all the rest take rise. The sanctuary... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 60:15-22

The happy and glorious state of the church is here further foretold, referring principally and ultimately to the Christian church and the spiritual peace of that, but under the type of that little gleam of outward peace which the Jews sometimes enjoyed after their return out of captivity. This is here spoken of, I. As compared with what it had been. This made her peace and honour the more pleasant, that her condition had been much otherwise. 1. She had been despised, but now she should be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:14

The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee ,.... The posterity of the Jews, who persecuted the first Christian churches, even those who say they are Jews and are not; these shall be convinced of the truth of the Christian religion, and be converted to it, and shall come and worship before the church, and in fellowship with it, and own it to be the true church of God; which is what is foretold shall be in the Philadelphian state, which is the same with the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:15

Whereas thou hast been forsaken ,.... Seemingly forsaken of God; thought to be so by herself, which was matter of complaint; and by her enemies, which to them was matter of joy; the Lord not appearing for her immediate relief, and for her deliverance out of the hands of her persecutors: and hated : of all men, of wicked and profane sinners, and of carnal professors, and especially of the antichristian party: so that no man went through thee ; very few passengers in Zion's ways; few... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:16

Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles ,.... Partake of their riches and wealth; so the Targum, "and ye shall be satisfied with the substance of the people:' or drink of the sincere milk of the word of the Gospel, which Gentiles have been favoured with for many ages; for this seems to have regard to Jewish converts, though not to them only, but as they, with the converted Gentiles, will make up one church state, and partake of the same privileges: and shall suck the breast of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:17

For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron ,.... By "wood and stones" may be meant the Old Testament dispensation; by the "brass and iron" the present Gospel dispensation; and by "silver and gold" the latter day glory; by "silver" the spiritual reign of Christ in his church; and by "gold" his personal reign in the New Jerusalem; which is said to be all of pure gold, and even the very street of it, Revelation 21:18 , now, as far as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:18

Violence shall no more be heard in thy land ,.... It shall be no more committed; no instances of it will be heard of, or any complaints concerning it; neither public nor private oppression: antichristian persecution will now be at an end; those that destroyed the earth with violence and oppression shall be no more; "there will be none to hurt in all the holy mountain", Isaiah 11:9 , wasting nor destruction within thy borders ; no more wars, nor rumours of wars; no more blood shed; no... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:19

The sun shall be no more thy light by day ,.... Here begins the account of the sinless, pure, and perfect state of the church in the personal reign of Christ, even the New Jerusalem church state, as appears from the use of these very words, in the description of that state, Revelation 21:23 where it is read, "and the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof"; and in like manner the Targum renders... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:20

Thy sun shall no more go down ,.... This is a different sun from the former; this is the church's sun, and no other than the sun of righteousness, Christ Jesus; who has his risings and settings now, at least, in the apprehensions of his people; he sometimes withdraws himself, and is gone; and then returns again: but so it will not be in this state: the saints shall be for ever with him, and he shall be for ever with them; who will always behold his glory, and be enlightened by him; see 1... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:21

Thy people also shall be all righteous ,.... That is, the church's people, or the members of the church; otherwise the Lord's people, who are truly so, always were, and ever will be, all righteous; but so have not always been the members of the churches; when Israel was the church of God, they were not all righteous; there was only a remnant among them, according to the election of grace, that were so; nor in the first Christian churches were they all such, there was a Judas among Christ's... read more
