Isaiah 60
1. The glory of the church in the abundant access of the Gentiles.
15. And the great blessings after a short affliction














Then you will look and be radiant
The Hebrew word for "look" is "ra'ah," which means to see or perceive. This implies a spiritual awakening or enlightenment, where the people of God will perceive the fulfillment of God's promises. The word "radiant" comes from the Hebrew "nahar," which means to shine or be cheerful. This suggests a transformation that occurs when one is in the presence of God's glory, reflecting His light and joy. Historically, this can be seen as a prophetic vision of Israel's restoration and the joy that accompanies the realization of God's faithfulness.

your heart will tremble and swell with joy
The phrase "your heart will tremble" uses the Hebrew word "pachad," which conveys a sense of awe or reverential fear. This trembling is not out of fear of punishment but a profound respect and amazement at God's majesty and the fulfillment of His promises. "Swell with joy" translates from "rachab," meaning to enlarge or expand. This indicates an overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude that fills the heart, a response to witnessing God's miraculous works and blessings.

because the riches of the sea will be brought to you
The "riches of the sea" refers to the wealth and abundance that comes from maritime trade. In ancient times, the sea was a source of great wealth, with goods and treasures being transported across vast distances. This phrase symbolizes the influx of prosperity and blessings that will come to God's people. It is a metaphor for the nations bringing their wealth to honor God and His people, fulfilling the promises of abundance and provision.

and the wealth of the nations will come to you
The "wealth of the nations" signifies the treasures and resources of the Gentile nations being brought to Israel. This is a prophetic vision of the time when all nations will recognize the sovereignty of God and bring their offerings to Jerusalem. It reflects the eschatological hope of a future where God's kingdom is established on earth, and all nations acknowledge His rule. This aligns with the biblical theme of the gathering of the nations to worship the one true God, as seen in other prophetic books like Zechariah and Revelation.

(5) Then thou shalt see.--A various reading adopted by many commentators gives thou shalt Jear.

Thine heart shall fear . . .--Literally, shall throb, as with an awe-stricken joy at the marvellous prosperity, but that throb of awe is followed by the expansion of ecstatic joy.

The abundance of the sea--i.e., the riches of the Western isles, with which the new Jerusalem was to be filled, as Tyre and Zidon had been of old. (Ezekiel 27:1-25).

Verses 5-9. - The second stanza. Zion's wealth. Verse 5. - Thine heart shall fear; rather, shall throb; "beat with excitement." Because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee; i.e. the maritime commerce, which has hitherto enriched other nations, shall be turned thy way and be at thy disposal. The forces of the Gentiles; rather, the riches of the Gentiles - as in Isaiah 8:4; Isaiah 10:14; Isaiah 30:6; Isaiah 61:6. Details of the riches fellow in vers. 6-9.
