Isaías 60:17-22

17 Por el bronce traeré oro, y por hierro plata, y por madera bronce, y por las piedras hierro; y pondré paz por tu gobierno, y justicia por tus opresores

18 Nunca más se oirá en tu tierra violencia, destrucción y quebrantamiento en tus términos; mas a tus muros llamarás Salud, y a tus puertas Alabanza

19 El sol nunca más te servirá de luz para el día, ni el resplandor de la luna te alumbrará; mas te será el SEÑOR por luz perpetua, y por tu gloria el Dios tuyo

20 No se pondrá jamás tu sol, ni menguará tu luna; porque te será el SEÑOR por perpetua luz, y los días de tu luto serán acabados

21 Y tu pueblo, todos ellos serán justos, para siempre heredarán la tierra; serán renuevos de mi plantío, obra de mis manos, para glorificarme

22 El pequeño será por mil; el menor, por gente fuerte. Yo, el SEÑOR, a su tiempo haré que esto sea presto

Isaías 60:17-22 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 60

.

As, in the two preceding chapters, the hypocrisy and formality, the profaneness and immorality, that should abound in the latter day, and even among professors of religion, are prophesied of; so, in this, a very ample account is given of latter daylight and glory; of both the spiritual and personal reign of Christ, with the latter of which it concludes. The light and glory of the church, in the spiritual reign, are described, Isa 60:1-3 the numerous conversions of persons to it from all quarters, east and west particularly, are prophesied of, Isa 60:4-8, the great usefulness those should be of unto it, in enriching it, and building it up, and in glorifying it, is declared, Isa 60:9-13, as also the subjection of enemies to it; the favours it should receive from kings, and the fame and renown of it through all nations and ages, Isa 60:14-16, its riches, prosperity, peace, and safety, Isa 60:17,18 and the chapter is concluded with an account of the more perfect state of the church in the personal reign of Christ, when there will be a perfection of light and righteousness; and the number of God's elect will be complete, and they will be all together, Isa 60:19-22.
