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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 60:1

Arise; a word of encouragement accommodated to the Jewish or Hebrew style, wherein, as by lying down is described a servile and calamitous condition, Isaiah 47:1; so by rising, and standing up, a recovery out of it into a free and prosperous one, as may be seen frequently. Rouse up; intimating her deliverance to be at hand. And here under a type, or hieroglyphical description of Jerusalem’s restoration, is displayed the flourishing state of the Gentile church under the Messiah, and that in the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 60:2

The darkness; either affliction and misery, a known metaphor; or ignorance and idolatry; as also all kinds of errors and immoralities, with which all that are out of the church are smutted and polluted: compare Ephesians 4:18,Ephesians 4:19. Shall cover the earth; either, 1. General, all the inhabitants of the earth, such as through ignorance reject the gospel. Or rather, 2. More particular, the Babylonians, by a synecdoche of the whole for a part, in that dismal condition being harassed by... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-6

THE DAWNING OF GOD’S LIGHT, AND ITS AWAKENING CALLIsaiah 60:1-6. Arise, shine, for thy light is come, &c.We ourselves are a part fulfilment of this prophecy. It is Israel’s God we worship, &c. The Church of today is what it is through the fulfilment of this prophecy in part; the Church of the future will be what it shall become through its fulfilment in completeness. Dropping the special reference to Israel, and viewing the text in its universal bearings, we have—I. THE CHURCH... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:1

Isaiah 60:1 Taking these words into the full illumination of Christianity, they express, very beautifully, the awakening of a man to his true work in the world. It is because the "glory of the Lord has risen upon him," that the Christian is able to reflect the light which has entered his soul. Notice: I. The dawning of the light: "Thy light has come." Man is not in a world of darkness, but blind in a world of light. All he needs is the opening of the spiritual eye, that the light may be seen.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:2-3

Isaiah 60:2-3 The manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles. I. The first token that was shown to the Gentile world that the great Light had arisen which was to cast its beams over them as well as over the small nation which alone hitherto had known God was the star, the wonderful star, which was seen in the sky. This star appeared but twice to the Magi once to tell them to set out, and once to tell them they had arrived. All the rest was faith. Faith that made them watch; faith that made them... read more

DISCOURSE: 999OUR DUTY ARISING FROM THE ADVENT OF CHRISTIsaiah 60:1.—Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.THE prophetic style is wonderfully sublime: its figures are so bold, its transitions so quick, its descriptions so animated, that all the most admired compositions of Greece and Rome sink in our estimation when compared with the sacred oracles. The writings of Isaiah in particular justify this remark; and both the chapter, and the very words,... 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. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and the kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed... read more

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. But it is, as Matthew Henry judiciously observes, “the gospel church expressly called Zion and Jerusalem, and under that idea, all believers are expressly said to come to it. Hebrews 12:22. Ye are come to mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; which text of St. Paul serves as a key to this prophecy.” This passage is likewise alluded to... read more

Isaiah 60:1-12Arise, shine; for thy light is comeThe glory of spiritual IsraelHaving repeatedly and fully shown that the national pro-eminence of Israel was not to be perpetual, that the loss of it was the natural consequence and righteous retribution of iniquity, and that their loss did not involve the destruction of the true Church or spiritual Israel, the prophet now proceeds to show that, to the latter, the approaching change would be a glorious and blessed one.(J. A. Alexander.)Isaiah... read more
