以賽亞書 60:17-18 RCUVTS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 60:17

Everything will be better in Israel’s millennial future. The contrasts appear to be with regard to Zion (Isaiah 60:14). Peace and righteousness will be the governing principles in that city. If peace and righteousness are the slave drivers and inspectors, what will the best be? Another view is that Isaiah personified peace and righteousness as vice-regents of God, in order to indicate that human leaders would no longer be necessary. The Israelites could not produce peace and righteousness... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 60:18

Israel will be safe and secure in her land, in contrast to her former vulnerable and insecure condition. Zion’s defense will be the salvation that God provides. Her gates will be so full of praise (i.e., people who praise) that potential enemies cannot enter. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:1-22

1. The light of deliverance so long waited for (Isaiah 59:9) is about to shine. This prophecy received its highest fulfilment at the coming of Christ, the true Light of the world, which was followed by a great ingathering of the nations to the Church of God (Isaiah 60:3, etc.).2.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 60:17

(17) For brass I will bring gold . . . The material wealth of the days of Solomon (1 Kings 10:21-27) furnishes another element in the picture of the ideal city, but with this striking difference: that there the “officers” and “exactors” of the king had been instruments of oppression (1 Kings 12:4), while now they were to be the very embodiment of righteousness, and, in the widest sense, of “peace,” and, therefore, of prosperity. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 60:18

(18) Violence shall no more . . .—Following the thought of the previous verse, we see in the words a picture of freedom from internal misgovernment rather than from external invasion.Thou shalt call thy walls Salvation . . . The idea, almost the very phrase, has met us before in Isaiah 26:1. They probably found a starting-point in the Eastern practice of giving to the walls of a city names that implied a consecration. Thus the walls of Babylon were named Imgur Bel and Nimetti Belkit (Records of... read more

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
