Isaiah 60:3

3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your 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 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

2 For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you.

3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

4 Lift up your eyes and look around: They all gather and come to you; your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried on the arm.

5 Then you will look and be radiant, and your heart will tremble and swell with joy, because the riches of the sea will be brought to you, and the wealth of the nations will come to you.
