イザヤ書 60:16-17 JCB

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 60:1-22

This chapter contains the full cup of consolation given to Zion, after all her woes and long afflictions in the dark ages of the church.

Isaiah 60:17For brass I will bring goldThe kingdom of GodThis passage occurs amid the glowing prophecies concerning the millennial kingdom.It has, however, its application to the kingdom in its present state. I. THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST RECOGNIZES DIFFERENT GRADES, QUALITIES, VALUES, USES. Each of these is most effective in its own place. We would much sooner commit ourselves to a vessel of steel than to one whose hull was made of gold. No greater calamity could happen to the world than to turn... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:16

16. Suck the milk… the breast, etc. The meaning here is, that Zion-Jerusalem, or the Messianic Church, shall draw on the resources of the more wealthy Gentiles as well as of kings: allegorical of being cherished with tenderest regard by them. From this, Zion is made to know that Jehovah is her all-compensating Lord and Saviour, mighty to save. read more
