Isaías 66:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 66:18

For I know their works, and their thoughts
That is, of the persons before described; their evil works and thoughts, which are known to Christ the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, whose eyes are as a flame of fire to pierce and penetrate into them, ( Revelation 2:18 Revelation 2:23 ) or, "as for me ^F12, their works and their thoughts"; as I know them, and abhor them, I will take vengeance on them for them, for what they have devised and done against me and mine: "and it shall come"; that is, it shall come to pass, or the time shall come: that I will gather all nations and tongues;
not against Jerusalem in the war of Gog and Magog, as the Jewish commentators, Aben Ezra, Jarchi, and Kimchi, interpret it, illustrating it by ( Zechariah 14:2 ) but to Christ and his church, by the preaching of the Gospel; which in the latter day will be published to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, and that immediately upon the destruction of both the western and eastern antichrists; and particularly, by the means of the latter, way will be made for it into the kingdoms of the east, which thereby will become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, ( Revelation 14:6 ) ( 16:12 ) ( 11:15 ) , and they shall come and see my glory;
the glory of Christ's person, offices, and grace; the glory of his Gospel, worship, and ordinances; the glory that will be upon Zion the church, and on all which there will be a defence, and a glorious sight it will be; see ( Isaiah 4:5 ) ( 60:1-3 ) .

Isaías 66:18 In-Context

16 Porque el SEÑOR juzgará con fuego y con su espada a toda carne, y serán muchos los muertos del SEÑOR.

17 Los que se santifican y se purifican para ir a los huertos, tras uno que está en el centro, que comen carne de cerdo, cosas detestables y ratones, a una perecerándeclara el SEÑOR.

18 Mas yo conozco sus obras y sus pensamientos. Llegará el tiempo de juntar a todas las naciones y lenguas, y vendrán y verán mi gloria.

19 Y pondré señal entre ellos y enviaré a sus sobrevivientes a las naciones: a Tarsis, a Fut, a Lud, a Mesec, a Ros, a Tubal y a Javán, a las costas remotas que no han oído de mi fama ni han visto mi gloria. Y ellos anunciarán mi gloria entre las naciones.

20 Entonces traerán a todos vuestros hermanos de todas las naciones como ofrenda al SEÑOR, en caballos, en carros, en literas, en mulos y en camellos, a mi santo monte, Jerusaléndice el SEÑORtal como los hijos de Israel traen su ofrenda de grano en vasijas limpias a la casa del SEÑOR.
