Isaiah 60:3

3 And nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright dawn.

Isaiah 60:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 60:3

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light
To the Gospel, preached in the midst of her; and to Christ, who is her light and into her church state, and partake of the prosperity and happiness of it. The Targum is,

``and nations shall walk in thy light;''
and so in ( Revelation 21:24 ) , where it is interpreted of the nations of them that are saved, truly regenerated and converted persons: and kings to the brightness of thy rising;
Christ, the sun of righteousness, will rise upon her; and this being the morning of the latter day glory, the church will rise as a bright morning star; and such be the evidence and lustre of Gospel truths and ordinances, that kings shall he enlightened by them, and come and join themselves unto her, and walk with her in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. Some of this high rank and dignity have been called, and but a few; but in those times the instances will be many, even all kings shall serve and worship the Lord, ( Psalms 72:11 ) .

Isaiah 60:3 In-Context

1 Up! let your face be bright, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is shining on you.
2 For truly, the earth will be dark, and the peoples veiled in blackest night; but the Lord will be shining on you, and his glory will be seen among you.
3 And nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright dawn.
4 Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care.
5 Then you will see, and be bright with joy, and your heart will be shaking with increase of delight: for the produce of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.
