Isaías 66:19-24

19 Realizaré una señal entre ellos y enviaré a los sobrevivientes a que lleven mi mensaje a las naciones: a Tarsis, a los libios
y a los lidios
(que son famosos arqueros), a Tubal y a Grecia
y a todas las tierras más allá del mar que no han oído de mi fama ni han visto mi gloria. Allí declararán mi gloria ante las naciones.

20 Ellos traerán de regreso al remanente de sus hermanos de entre las naciones y los llevarán a mi monte santo en Jerusalén, como ofrenda al Señor
. Irán a caballo, en carros de guerra, en carretas, en mulas y en camellos —dice el Señor
—;

21 y nombraré a algunos de ellos para que sean mis sacerdotes y levitas. ¡Yo, el Señor
, he hablado!

22 »Tan cierto como que mis cielos nuevos y mi tierra nueva permanecerán,
así también ustedes serán mi pueblo para siempre,
con un nombre que nunca desaparecerá
—dice el Señor
—.

23 Toda la humanidad vendrá a adorarme
semana tras semana
y mes tras mes.

24 Y cuando salgan, verán
los cadáveres de los que se han rebelado contra mí.
Los gusanos que los devoran nunca morirán,
y el fuego que los quema nunca se apagará.
Todos los que pasen por allí
se llenarán de horror absoluto».

Isaías 66:19-24 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 66

This chapter treats of the same things as the former, the rejection of the unbelieving Jews, and the regard had to them that did believe; the conversion of that people in the latter day; the calling of the Gentiles, and the happy state of the church in the last times. The causes of the rejection of the Jews were their unworthy notions of God, as if he was confined to the temple of Jerusalem, and to be pleased with external sacrifices, now both at an end under the Gospel dispensation; a better sacrifice being offered, and a more spiritual worship set up everywhere; which notions are considered, Isa 66:1-3, and because they were set upon their ways and works, and rejected the Gospel of Christ, they are threatened with ruin, Isa 66:3,4 and the disciples of Christ, whom they excommunicated and persecuted, have a promise of divine appearance for them, while vengeance shall be taken on their enemies, their city and temple, Isa 66:5,6, nevertheless, in the latter day, there will be a large and sudden conversion of this nation of the Jews, which is signified by the birth of them, which will be matter of great joy to all the true lovers of the interest of Christ, Isa 66:7-11 and what will add to the prosperity, joy, and comfort of the church of Christ at this time, will be the bringing in of the fulness of the Gentiles, Isa 66:12-14 at which time the vials of God's wrath will be poured out upon antichrist and his followers, Isa 66:15-17 and the chapter is concluded with a fresh account of large conversions of men of all nations, and of the union of Jews and Gentiles in one church state, which shall long remain, and be undisturbed by enemies, who will be all slain, and their carcasses looked upon with contempt, Isa 66:18-24.
