James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-22

MEETING OF THE AGES We are drawing to the end of the present, and the opening of the Millennial age. The prophet’s eye rests on the time when Israel is back in her land, the majority still unconverted to Christ and worshiping in a restored temple. There is a faithful remnant waiting for Him, though enduring the persecution of the false christ. This persecution may often be felt at the hands of their own brethren after the flesh. These facts must be assumed in the interpretation of these... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 60:1

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-3

I beg to be understood as speaking with all due humility, on a subject so infinitely sublime and glorious; and rather as asking than deciding upon it; but I venture to say, it strikes me that the person here spoken to, is Christ, the glorious Head of his Church, and not the Church herself, as hath been generally supposed. We find, by comparing scripture with scripture, that God the Father many times before addresses God the Son as Mediator, in the several parts of this same Prophet's sermon.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 60:4-7

What a blessed and soul-reviving thought is it, amidst the melancholy prospect all around, of sin and sorrow, in the present miserable state of things, that the kingdom of Jesus is neither weak nor small. The promise is absolute: He shall see of the travail of his soul, and be satisfied. Some of all nations, all tongues, all people shall come to him. In Jesus, the New Testament altar shall they be all accepted. I only detain the Reader to remark, that this passage alone, if there were no other,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 60:8-9

Reader! pause, I pray you over these sweet verses. Can there be a more delightful thought, than that of souls flying to Christ, as doves, who by instinct take shelter in their houses? Mark what Jesus said, John 12:32 ; and do not overlook how the glory of Jehovah in covenant, as God, is folded up in the blessed relation. Yes! Christ's glory is his Father's honour; and it is the most blessed of all thoughts that God the Father is glorified in his dear Son, in the instance of every individual... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 60:10-11

How beautifully do we find the Redeemer's glory and his Church's happiness blended. Here the prosperity of the Church is particularly spoken of, but all with an eye to Christ. Psalms 72:10 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 60:12

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 60:13-18

In what lofty language, of the most blessed import, and under what gracious similitudes, doth the Lord speak of the glories and happiness of the Church! But let the Reader carefully remember, that it is all in Jesus. Without an eye to him, none of these things could be said. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 60:19-22

The very blessed things here spoken of, evidently refer to the Church above, and we must look forward to the full accomplishment of them in the new heavens and new earth, wherein righteousness dwelleth forever. By comparing what is here said with what the beloved Apostle John saw in vision (and which he was commissioned to deliver to the Church) we are taught what a blessed state that will be, when Christ is all in all, and hath brought home his Church to his kingdom above. See Revelation 21:0... read more
