Isaiah 60

Isaiah 60:1–9 
- The light is Jesus Christ, who has come upon Israel. 
- The coming of the light would gather all nations and all kings to Israel, who will be radiant, full of joy amd splendor. Israel will prosper, attracting nations from all over the world who will proclaim the praise of the Lord.

Isaiah 60:10–14
- Other nations will help Israel rebuild its walls and be above their kings.
Any nation that does not serve God’s people will perish and be ruined. 
- This will happen literally. The Bible can be read both literally and metaphorically, and things are described at least twice in the Bible. The coming of Jesus, rebuilding of Zion, the millenium reign of Jesus are also revealed in Revelation.

Isaiah 60:15–18 
- God told Israel that it will be the everlasting pride and joy of all generations, that it will be ruled under peace and rigtheousness, with salvation and praise.
- Those who place their trust in the Lord will succeed in their ways and lead their lives with peace and righteousness.

Isaiah 60:19–22 
Revelation 21:22-27 
- When glory shines upon Zion, the Lord will be the everlasting light, and there will no longer be any sorrow. The people of Zion will all be righteous and the rightful owner of the land forever. The people of Zion are God’s people, and God will shelter them and make them strong.
