イザヤ書 60:14-22 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:22

A little one shall become a thousand ,.... A small family, a little handful of people in all ages, scattered up and down in the world, of no esteem and account in it, being all gathered together, that ever were in the world, will appear to be thousands and millions, and such a number as no man can number, Revelation 7:9 . and a small one a strong nation ; a company of weak persons, persecuted by their enemies, and unable to resist them, as in the present state: now there will be a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:19

Neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee "Nor by night shall the brightness of the moon enlighten thee" - This line, as it stands in the present text, seems to be defective. The Septuagint and Chaldee both express the night, which is almost necessary to answer to day in the preceding line, as well as to perfect the sense here. I therefore think that we ought, upon the authority of the Septuagint and Chaldee, to read either ולילה velailah , and by night, instead of ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:22

I the Lord will hasten it in his time - There is a time set for the fulfillment of this prophecy: that time must come before it begins to take place; but when it does begin, the whole will be performed in a short space. It is not, therefore, the time determined for the event that shall be hastened, but all the circumstances of the event; all the parts of the prediction shall be speedily completed. I the Lorde in hys tyme sodeynly schal boun thys. - Old MS. Bible. And because it is the Lord,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-14

The rebuilding of the temple. I. THE DAWN OF THE NEW DAY . Zion, lying like a prostrate woman on the ground, is bidden to arise, because the glory of her God has dawned upon her. And this in contrast to the thick darkness enwrapping the earth in general. This darkness means alienation from God. As the Israelites had light in their dwellings when thick darkness was on the land of Egypt, so again now. Israel is the "central and mediatorial people." Here a community of God; yonder a... read more

SECTION VII . THE GLORIES OF THE RESTORED JERUSALEM ( Isaiah 60:1-22 .). A SONG OF TRIUMPH UPON GLORIFIED ZION . This is rather a detached poem than an integral portion of a book. It is complete in itself, and but slightly connected, either with what precedes or with what follows. Delitzsch and Mr. Cheyne regard it as a "counterpart" to the magnificent ode in Isaiah 47:1-15 , which describes the fall and ruin of Babylon. It is composed of five stanzas, of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-22

The characteristics of the final Church of the Redeemer. Isaiah's teaching on this subject divides itself under three heads. I. THE CHURCH SHALL BE RADIANT WITH A LIGHT DERIVED FROM HER LORD . The radiance spoken of (verses 1-3) is a radiance of moral and spiritual goodness. The absolute moral perfection of the Son of man can, of course, be but faintly and feebly imitated by his followers. Still, they are bound to imitate him; for he "left them an example, that they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-22

The Church triumphant. With other eyes than ours the Jews must have read these glowing words. They saw in them a fascinating picture of a triumphant people; they saw the Jerusalem of their knowledge and of their love made strong and glorious in some coming time. Their patriotic hopes were kindled and must have been raised to a white heat of intensity as they dwelt on the gladdening, transporting promise. In the midst of surrounding darkness covering the whole earth ( Isaiah 60:2 ), Zion... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 60:14

The sons ( i.e. descendants) also of them that afflicted thee; i.e. of the various nations that at different times oppressed and afflicted Israel—as Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines, Assyrians, Babylonians, Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, etc. Shall come bending unto thee. Bowing themselves down to the new Israel—the Israel of God—as the eleven sheaves bowed themselves down to Joseph's sheaf ( Genesis 37:7 ). At the soles of thy feet (comp. Isaiah 49:23 ). Shall call... read more
