G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 60:1-22

In this and the next two chapters, we have a glorious description of the ultimate realization of the purposes of God. It commences with a declaration of the material prosperity of the people described in the last verses of the previous chapter. The breaking of the new day is first spoken of. The holy nation is a center of light in the midst of surrounding darkness. The glory of Jehovah manifest, nations and kings gather to the new center. A graphic description of the returning exiles follows.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:1-22

THE COMING OF THE DELIVERER AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ZION ( Isaiah 59:15 to Isaiah 62:12 ). Isaiah wanted them to know that God sees their desperate condition and determines to act. He looks for a man, someone to stand in the gap, but there is none. So He Himself acts. He will step in on behalf of His people. He will bring them a Deliverer, a Redeemer, One Who is clothed in righteousness and salvation, and also One Who is clothed in vengeance and zealousness for God. He is concerned with... read more

‘Lift up your eyes round about and see, They all gather themselves together, they come to you, Yours sons will come from far, And your daughters will be nursed on the side, Then you will see and be lightened, And your heart will tremble and be enlarged, Because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, The wealth of the nations will come to you.’ The true people of God will be able to watch in astonishment as the nations and their kings gather to Zion (Isaiah 2:2-3), that Zion which is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:1-22

Isaiah 60:1-Song of Solomon : . The Glories of the New Jerusalem.— This, with Isaiah 61 f., is marked by close imitation of the style of 2 Is. Isaiah 60:1-Leviticus : . The prophet, taking for his standpoint the fulfilment of his prediction, pictures as accomplished facts Zion’ s coming glories. While all other nations lie in darkness, Yahweh bids Zion stand forth radiant in the light of the prosperity He bestows. The nations are drawn to Zion’ s bright light.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 60:4

Lift up thine eyes round abrupt; or in a circle; into all parts of the earth: it seems to relate to the apostles and disciples, with their successors, carrying the gospel into all parts of the world. And in regard it would be as it were a thing incredible, he bids them lift up their eyes, as if they were to behold it in some vision, or upon some watch tower in Jerusalem: there is the like expression Isaiah 49:18. All they gather themselves together: he speaks more particularly, either of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-22

Chapter 60Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 60:1-22

This chapter contains the full cup of consolation given to Zion, after all her woes and long afflictions in the dark ages of the church. But it is, as Matthew Henry judiciously observes, “the gospel church expressly called Zion and Jerusalem, and under that idea, all believers are expressly said to come to it. Hebrews 12:22. Ye are come to mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; which text of St. Paul serves as a key to this prophecy.” This passage is likewise alluded to... read more

A. Alexander.)Isaiah... read more
