以赛亚书 60:5 RCUVSS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 60:4-5

Isaiah 60:4-5. Lift up thine eyes round about Or, in a circle, into all parts of the earth. He seems to refer to the apostles and disciples, with their successors, carrying the gospel into all quarters of the world. And because it would be, as it were, a thing incredible, he bids them lift up their eyes, as if they were to behold it in some vision, or upon some watch-tower in Jerusalem. See the like expression Isaiah 49:18. All they gather themselves together He speaks of the coming in... 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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 60:5-7

Isaiah 60:5-7. Then thou shalt see, &c.— Then shalt thou fear, and overflow with joy; and thy heart shall be ruffled, and dilated, &c. Lowth. The prophet here shews first, that the nations who were to be added to the church should not come empty-handed, but prepared to give not only themselves but all their possessions to the church of God; and he teaches that the inhabitants of the isles, and the seas, should be the first to do this, Isa 60:5 then the orientals, who inhabit and wander... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 60:5

Israel will rejoice and be amazed because the nations will bring their wealth and give it to Israel. The nations will do this because Israel will be the Lord’s vehicle for bringing the knowledge of God to them. The gifts are really in praise of the Lord, not to gain Israel’s favor, or to repay her for her sufferings, or because she is a superior race. read more

1. The light of deliverance so long waited for (Isaiah 59:9) is about to shine.

William Nicoll

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 60:1-22

The 'No Mores' of Life Isaiah 60:0 I. The tone is very wonderful. No more sun, no more moon, no more wasting, no more violence, no more earth, no more firmament heaven, but quite another heaven, which that great firmament has been trying, and trying in vain, to hint at all these countless thousands of ages. It is very curious to notice how many things you can part with without parting with yourself. It is astonishing how many things you could cut off your own self and leave yourself in all its... read more
