Isaías 60:20 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 60:20

Thy sun shall no more go down
This is a different sun from the former; this is the church's sun, and no other than the sun of righteousness, Christ Jesus; who has his risings and settings now, at least, in the apprehensions of his people; he sometimes withdraws himself, and is gone; and then returns again: but so it will not be in this state: the saints shall be for ever with him, and he shall be for ever with them; who will always behold his glory, and be enlightened by him; see ( 1 Thessalonians 4:16 1 Thessalonians 4:18 ) : neither shall thy moon withdraw itself;
or, "shall not be gathered" {i}, under a cloud; or "fail" ^F11, as the Septuagint version; or, "suffer a defect", as the Arabic version; as the moon does when in the wane, or is eclipsed. This may refer to this then present state of the church, which shall not fail; and to the blessings and comforts of it from Christ the sun, which will not cease, the enjoyment of them be ever interrupted. The Targum is,

``thy kingdom shall cease no more, and thy glory shall not be removed;''

and so Maimonides ^F12 interprets it of the kingdom of the Messiah, that shall endure for ever: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light;
this is repeated for the confirmation of it: and the days of thy mourning shall be ended
^F13; or, "completed"; shall be fully up, and so at an end: or, "shall be recompensed" ^F14; with an everlasting day of joy and pleasure; there will now be no more sin to distress the saints; no more temptations of Satan to annoy them; no more afflictions either of body or mind to trouble them; no more pain, or crying, or death; and so no more mourning; sorrow and sighing will flee away; all tears will be wiped from their eyes; and everlasting joy be upon their heads; see ( Revelation 21:4 ) ( Isaiah 35:10 ) .

Isaías 60:20 In-Context

18 Não se ouvirá mais falar de violência em sua terra,nem de ruína e destruição dentro de suas fronteiras.Os seus muros você chamará salvação,e as suas portas, louvor.

19 O sol não será mais a sua luz de dia,e você não terá mais o brilho do luar,pois o SENHOR será a sua luz para sempre;o seu Deus será a sua glória.

20 O seu sol nunca se porá,e a sua lua nunca desaparecerá,porque o SENHOR sera a sua luz para sempre,e os seus dias de tristeza terão fim.

21 Então todo o seu povo será justo,e possuirá a terra para sempre.Ele é o renovo que plantei,obra das minhas mãos,para manifestação da minha glória.

22 O mais pequenino se tornará mil,o menor será uma nação poderosa.Eu sou o SENHOR;na hora certa farei que isso aconteça depressa”.
