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 los muertos del SEÑOR serán multiplicados.

17 Los que se santifican y los que se purifican en los huertos, unos tras otros; los que comen carne de puerco, y abominación, y ratón; juntamente serán talados, dice el SEÑOR.

18 Porque yo entiendo sus obras y sus pensamientos. Tiempo vendrá para juntar todos los gentiles y lenguas; y vendrán, y verán mi gloria.

19 Y pondré entre ellos señal, y enviaré de los escapados de ellos a los gentiles, a Tarsis, a Pul y Lud, que disparan arco; a Tubal y a Javán, a las islas apartadas, que nunca oyeron mi nombre, ni vieron mi gloria; y publicarán mi gloria entre los gentiles.

20 Y traerán a todos vuestros hermanos de entre todas las naciones, por presente al SEÑOR, en caballos, en carros, en literas, y en mulos, y en camellos, a mi santo monte de Jerusalén, dice el SEÑOR de manera que los hijos de Israel traen el presente en vasos limpios a la Casa del SEÑOR.
