Isaías 60:1-6

1 Gloria futura de Jerusalén
»¡Levántate, Jerusalén! Que brille tu luz para que todos la vean.
Pues la gloria del Señor
se levanta para resplandecer sobre ti.

2 Una oscuridad negra como la noche cubre a todas las naciones de la tierra,
pero la gloria del Señor
se levanta y aparece sobre ti.

3 Todas las naciones vendrán a tu luz;
reyes poderosos vendrán para ver tu resplandor.

4 »¡Levanta los ojos, porque todo el mundo vuelve a casa!
Tus hijos llegan desde tierras lejanas;
tus hijas pequeñas serán traídas en brazos.

5 Resplandecerán tus ojos
y tu corazón se estremecerá de alegría
porque los mercaderes del mundo entero vendrán a ti.
Te traerán las riquezas de muchos países.

6 Enormes caravanas de camellos convergirán en ti;
los camellos de Madián y de Efa.
Los habitantes de Saba traerán oro e incienso
y vendrán adorando al Señor
.

Isaías 60:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 60

.

As, in the two preceding chapters, the hypocrisy and formality, the profaneness and immorality, that should abound in the latter day, and even among professors of religion, are prophesied of; so, in this, a very ample account is given of latter daylight and glory; of both the spiritual and personal reign of Christ, with the latter of which it concludes. The light and glory of the church, in the spiritual reign, are described, Isa 60:1-3 the numerous conversions of persons to it from all quarters, east and west particularly, are prophesied of, Isa 60:4-8, the great usefulness those should be of unto it, in enriching it, and building it up, and in glorifying it, is declared, Isa 60:9-13, as also the subjection of enemies to it; the favours it should receive from kings, and the fame and renown of it through all nations and ages, Isa 60:14-16, its riches, prosperity, peace, and safety, Isa 60:17,18 and the chapter is concluded with an account of the more perfect state of the church in the personal reign of Christ, when there will be a perfection of light and righteousness; and the number of God's elect will be complete, and they will be all together, Isa 60:19-22.
