So, now let's go to Isaiah 60, which is a prophecy to what we just read with Revelation 21 and 22. There's a lot of people who look at this scripture as right now, so to speak, but as we will continue to read it, you will see that it's talking about the eternal kingdom. Okay. So, the prophecy of the everlasting life in Isaiah 60, verses 1 through 3: "Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will rise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and the kings to the brightness of your rising."
Notice the language: "The darkness covers the earth. A deep darkness covers the people. But the Lord will rise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you." The Gentiles shall come to your light, which is Yeshua the Messiah. Okay? Now, let's look at the corresponding scripture that, remember Simeon, okay, in Luke 2:29-32, the prophet Simeon. Look at what he said here before he passed to the other side to Yahweh: "Lord, now you are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel."
So, there's a beautiful connection between Isaiah 60 and also in Luke 2 right here with the light to the Gentiles. That's the light of the world, Yeshua. And also, you can go read Isaiah 42:6 and also Isaiah 49 as well, and it's a light to the Gentiles, is what it says as well. So, does that sound familiar? Revelation 21 describes nations walking in the light of the New Jerusalem, and kings bringing their glory into it. John's vision strongly echoes Isaiah's prophecy.
But now let's look at Isaiah 60, verses 19-20, as we continue to read the prophecy: "The sun shall no longer be your light by day, nor for your brightness shall the moon give light to you; but the Lord will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory." So, again, that's a great tie-in for what we just read with the book of Revelation, also Luke 2 as well, about the everlasting kingdom, the children of light in the eternal kingdom, is what Isaiah 60 is really concluding with. And in verse 20, it concludes: "For the Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended." Amen and amen and amen.
