ISAIAH 60: ZION, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

Arise, shine, for your light has come,

And the Glory of the Lord rises upon you [The Bride of Christ].

See, Darkness covers the earth and thick Darkness is over the peoples

[This is the condition of America and the Whole World today],

But the Lord Rises upon you and His Glory appears over you.

Nations will come to your light,

And kings to the Brightness of your Dawn.

Lift up your eyes and look about you:

ALL assemble and come to you;

Your sons come from afar, and carried on the arm.

Then you will look and be Radiant,

YOUR HEART WILL THROB AND SWELL WITH JOY;

The wealth of the seas will be brought to you,

To you the riches of the Nations will come.

Herds of camels will cover your land [Israel],

Young camels of Midian and Ephah.

And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense

And Proclaiming the Praise of the Lord.

All Kedar's flocks will be gathered to you,

Th rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
They will be accepted as offerings on My Altar,

And I will Adorn My Glorious Temple.

'Who are these that fly along like clouds,

Like doves to their nests?'

Surely the islands look to Me;

In the lead are the ships of Tarshish [or trading ships]

Bringing you sons from afar, with their silver and gold,

To the honor of the Lord your God,

The Holy One of Israel,

For He has endowed you [The Bride Of Christ] with Splendor.

Foreigners will rebuild your walls,

And their kings will serve you.

Though in anger I struck you,

In Favor I will show you Compassion.

Your Gates will always stand open [Rev. 21:24-27],

THEY WILL NEVER BE SHUT DAY OR NIGHT,

So that men may bring you the wealth of the Nations--

Their kings led in Triumphal procession.

For the Nation or kingdom that will not serve you will Perish;

It will be utterly Ruined.

The Glory of Lebanon will come to you,

the pine, the fir and the cypress together,

To Adorn the Place of My Sanctuary;

And I will glorify the Place of My feet.

The sons of your Oppressors will come bowing before you;

ALL who despise you will bow down at your feet

AND WILL CALL YOU THE CITY OF THE LORD

ZION of the Holy One of Israel. [Rev. 3:9]

Although you have been Forsaken and Hated [by all nations],

With no one traveling through,

I WILL MAKE YOU THE EVERLASTING PRIDE

And the Joy of ALL Generations.

You will drink the milk of Nations

And be nursed at Royal Breasts.

THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I, THE LORD, AM YOUR SAVIOR,

Your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Instead of bronze I will bring you bronze,

And iron in place of stones.

I will make PEACE your Governor and Righteousness your Ruler.

NO LONGER WILL VIOLENCE BE HEARD IN YOU LAND,,

Nor ruin or destruction within your borders.

BUT YOU WILL CALL YOUR WALLS SALVATION

And your Gates Praise.

THE SUN WILL NO MORE BE YOUR LIGHT BY DAY,

Nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,

FOR THE LORD WILL BE YOUR EVERLASTING LIGHT,

And your God will be your Glory. [Jer. 9:23; Rev. 21:23]

Your sun will never set again,

And your moon will wane no more;

THE LORD WILL BE YOUR EVERLASTING LIGHT,

And your days of sorrow will End.

Then will all your people be Righteous

AND THEY WILL POSSES THE LAND FOREVER.

They are the shoot I have planted, the work of My hands,

FOR THE DISPLAY OF MY SPLENDOR.

The least of you will become a thousand,

The smallest a Mighty Nation.

I AM THE LORD; IN ITS TIME I WILL DO THIS SWIFTLY.

(Isaiah 60, NIV)

Though most do not understand,

This describes The Woman of Revelation 12, Who is The Bride Of Christ.

Outside are the dogs, those who practice Magic Arts,

The Sexually Immoral, The Murderers, the Idolaters

And everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

(Revelation 22:15)

Outside, and in Hell, are ALL those who, today, Dishonor God and His Word.

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.

(Luke 21:36)

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
