Who comes to Israel's light in Isaiah 60?
In Isaiah 60, the Gentiles come to Israel's light, and kings come to the brightness of Israel's rising. The passage says the Lord's glory rises upon Israel while spiritual darkness covers the earth and gross darkness covers the people. These are the ones drawn to Israel's light.
Les teaches that Isaiah 60 describes the Lord's glory rising upon Israel while spiritual darkness covers the earth and gross darkness covers the people. He identifies the darkness as spiritual darkness. Then the Gentiles come to Israel's light, and kings come to the brightness of Israel's rising. Les notes these verses were covered when studying the Abrahamic Covenant and repeats them because repetition is how people learn, then moves on to Zechariah 8:20.
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
What does Isaiah 60:3 have in common with Isaiah 2:2?
Both passages depict Gentiles being drawn to Israel's light and glory, showing the same prophetic picture of Gentile inclusion. Isaiah 60:3 says Gentiles shall come to thy light and kings to the brightness of thy right hand, while Isaiah 2:2 says the Gentiles shall flow unto it.
Why will the Gentiles come to Israel's light in Isaiah 60:3?
The Gentiles come because God's glory and light have risen upon Israel. Once that light comes to the nation, Israel and the light in consort become the light of the world to the Gentiles. Kings are drawn to the brightness of Israel's rising, and the nations seek them because they have heard God is with the Jew.
