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 ) .

17 «Juntos perecerán los que se santifican y se purifican para entrar en los jardines, siguiendo a uno que va al frente, y los que comen carne de cerdo, ratas y otras cosas abominables —afirma el SEÑOR—.

18 »Yo, por causa de sus acciones y sus ideas, estoy a punto de reunir a gente de toda nación y lengua; vendrán y verán mi gloria.

19 »Les daré una señal, y a algunos de sus sobrevivientes los enviaré a las naciones: a Tarsis, Pul, Lidia (famosa por sus arqueros), Tubal y Grecia, y a las costas lejanas que no han oído hablar de mi fama ni han visto mi gloria. Ellos anunciarán mi gloria entre las naciones.

20 Y a todos los hermanos que ustedes tienen entre las naciones los traerán a mi monte santo en Jerusalén, como una ofrenda al SEÑOR; los traerán en caballos, en carros de combate y en literas, y en mulas y camellos —dice el SEÑOR—. Los traerán como traen los israelitas, en recipientes limpios, sus ofrendas de grano al templo del SEÑOR.
