イザヤ書 60:20-21 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 60:20

Eternal day. "Thy sun shall no more go down," etc . We are told in the preceding verse who this sun is. It is God. As the Light of the soul, he shall live for ever. We speak of sun and moon, not only as they exist in nature, but figuratively, as symbolic of joy and gladness to the human heart. Many things are in this sense lights to us here, but their glory is often dimmed , often eclipsed in darkness; but hereafter "the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting Light, and thy God thy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 60:20

Departed grief. "The days of thy mourning shall be ended.". What a glorious perspective there is in these words! In the fairest skies we are accustomed to expect some clouds to start up from the bed of the sea, or to come suddenly across the blue firmament heralded by some fleecy outrider. Nor do we expect perpetuity of joy in human life. Life is ever the subject of risk and danger. We never part without uncertainty as to meeting again; we never know but our day of glory may set in tears.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 60:21

Thy people also shall be all righteous . Here the prophet touches the root of the matter. Pain and sorrow are the fruit of sin. Once let sin disappear, and sorrow goes with it. It is the foundation of all the glory and all the happiness of the redeemed in their Lord's final kingdom, that they are cleansed from all defilement of sin, and "are as the angels" ( Mark 12:25 ). They shall inherit the land; rather, the earth— the "new heavens and new earth" of Isaiah:17; Isaiah 66:22 . The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 60:21

The heaven of universal righteousness. "Thy people also shall be all righteous." "There are no people on earth that are all righteous; there is a mixture of some bad in the best societies on this side of heaven; but there are no mixtures there. They shall be ' all righteous,' that is, they shall be entirely righteous; as there shall be none corrupt among them, so there shall be no corruption among them; the spirit of just men shall there be made perfect" (Matthew Henry). Universal... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 60:20

Thy sun shall no more go down - There shall be no total and long night of calamity, error, and sin. This is designed to describe the flourishing and glorious state of the church. It, of course, does not mean that there should be no times of calamity, no period of ignorance, no scenes of persecution; but it means that there should not be total night. Truth should reign on the earth, and there never would be a time when the light of salvation would be extinct. There never would be a time like... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 60:21

Thy people also shall be all righteous - (See the notes at Isaiah 4:2).They shall inherit the land for ever - (See the notes at Isaiah 49:8; Isaiah 54:3; compare Isaiah 65:9; Matthew 5:5).The branch of my planting - On the meaning of the word branch, see the notes at Isaiah 11:1; Isaiah 14:19. Here it means a scion or shoot which Yahweh had planted, and which had sprung up under his culture. Grotius supposes it means posterity. The idea seems to be, that they would inherit the land and all... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 60:19-20

Isaiah 60:19-20. The sun shall be no more thy light, &c. The light of the sun and moon shall not be at all esteemed in comparison of the spiritual light of the church, which shall be so glorious as to eclipse all the light formerly enjoyed by her, the divine glory and majesty illuminating her much more brightly than the luminaries of heaven illuminate and adorn the theatre of nature. Or, as Lowth interprets the clause, “God’s favour and the light of his countenance shall give her... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 60:21-22

Isaiah 60:21-22. Thy people shall be all righteous Through righteousness imputed to them, Romans 4:3-8; Romans 4:23-24; implanted in them, Ephesians 4:22-24; and practised by them, 1 John 3:7; in other words, through the justification of their persons, the renovation of their nature, and their practical obedience to God’s law. “It was proper,” says Vitringa, “that the prophetic discourse, big with such excellent promises, should set forth the quality of the citizens of this blessed city;... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-22

A glorious kingdom (60:1-22)In Chapters 60-62 the scene returns to Babylon, where the captive Israelites look forward to the return to their homeland and the reconstruction of their national life. Here, more than in the previous chapters, the blessings seem to go far beyond those experienced by post-exilic Israel. (See sub-section ‘New Jerusalem’ at the introduction to Chapters 40-66.)When sin is removed and enemies are punished, Israel will receive the glory it has always hoped for. Not only... read more
