F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 60:15-22

“He Is Their Everlasting Light” Isaiah 60:15-22 What a graphic delineation is presented in these words of the privileges of the consecrated life! The Mighty One of Jacob becomes its Savior. Thenceforth it is ever ascending in the scale of experience, exchanging the period of stone for that of iron, of iron for silver, and of brass for gold. Anxiety and depression are followed by long and happy years of fulness and joy. Violence and destruction, which, like vandals, hewed and burned, are... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 60:1-22

In this and the next two chapters, we have a glorious description of the ultimate realization of the purposes of God. It commences with a declaration of the material prosperity of the people described in the last verses of the previous chapter. The breaking of the new day is first spoken of. The holy nation is a center of light in the midst of surrounding darkness. The glory of Jehovah manifest, nations and kings gather to the new center. A graphic description of the returning exiles follows.... read more

THE SYMBOL AND THE REALITY‘The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.’ Isaiah 60:19 I. There is no better test of men’s progress than the advancing power to do without the things which used to be essential to their lives.—The lives of men who have been always growing are strewed along their whole course with things they have learned to do without. II. You... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:1-22

THE COMING OF THE DELIVERER AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ZION ( Isaiah 59:15 to Isaiah 62:12 ). Isaiah wanted them to know that God sees their desperate condition and determines to act. He looks for a man, someone to stand in the gap, but there is none. So He Himself acts. He will step in on behalf of His people. He will bring them a Deliverer, a Redeemer, One Who is clothed in righteousness and salvation, and also One Who is clothed in vengeance and zealousness for God. He is concerned with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:19-20

‘The sun will no more be your light by day, Nor for brightness will the moon give light to you, But Yahweh will be to you an everlasting light, And your God your glory. Your sun shall no more go down, Nor will your moon withdraw itself, For Yahweh will be your everlasting light, And the days of your mourning will be ended.’ If we had any doubts previously that this Zion is finally not earthly but heavenly it is made clear here. They will have no need of sun or moon (Revelation 21:23) for Yahweh... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:1-22

Isaiah 60:1-Song of Solomon : . The Glories of the New Jerusalem.— This, with Isaiah 61 f., is marked by close imitation of the style of 2 Is. Isaiah 60:1-Leviticus : . The prophet, taking for his standpoint the fulfilment of his prediction, pictures as accomplished facts Zion’ s coming glories. While all other nations lie in darkness, Yahweh bids Zion stand forth radiant in the light of the prosperity He bestows. The nations are drawn to Zion’ s bright light. Isaiah 60:3 . rising: i.e.... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 60:19

The sun shall be no more thy light, & c.; these shall not be at all esteemed in comparison of the spiritual light of the church; and this is laid down as the assurance of the church’s comfort, as the former was for her safety, so that God will not only be a shield, but a sun to her, Psalms 84:11; not that they shall not have the sun and moon among them, but that the light of the godly, as such, should principally consist in what is spiritual. The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:19

Isaiah 60:19 I. There is no better test of men's progress than the advancing power to do without the things which used to be essential to their lives. The lives of men who have been always growing are strewed along their whole course with things they have learned to do without. From the time when the child casts his leading strings aside, because his legs are strong enough to carry him alone, the growing man goes on for ever leaving each help for a higher, until at last, in that great change to... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-22

Chapter 60Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
