Isaiah 60
The Glory of Zion,
The Bride Of Christ, The City Of God
Arise, sine, for your
light has come,
And the Glory of the
Lord rises upon you.
2 SEE DARKNESS
COVERS THE EARTH
AND THICK DARKNESS
IS OVER THE PEOPLES,
But the Lord rises upon
you
And His Glory appears
over you.
3 Nations will come to
your light,
And kings to the
Brightness of your Dawn.
4 Lift up your eyes and
look about you:
All assemble and come
to you;
Your sons come from
afar,
And your daughters are
carried on the arm.
5 THEN YOU WILL LOOK
AND BERADIANT,
YOUR HEART WILL
THOROB AND SWELL WITH JOY;
The Wealth on the seas
will be brought to you,
To you the Riches of
the Nations will come.
6 Herds of camels will
cover your land,
Young camels of Midian
and Ephah.
And all from Sheba will
come, bearing gold and incense
AND PROCLAIMING THE
PRAISE OF THE LORD.
7 All Kedar's flocks
will be gathered to you,
The rams of Nebaioth
will serve you;
They will be accepted
as offerings on My Altar,
AND I WILL ADORN MY
GLORIOUS TEMPLE
(The
Bride of Christ).
8 Who are these that
fly along like clouds,
Like doves to their
nests?
9 Surely the islands
look to Me;
In the lead are the
ships of Tarshish,
Bringing your sons from
afar, with their silver and gold,
TO THE HONOR OF THE
LORD YOUR GOD,
THE HOLY ONE OF
ISREAL,
FOR HE HAS ENDOWED
YOU WITH SPLENDOR.
10 Foreigners will
rebuild your walls,
And their kings will
serve you.
Though in anger I
struck you,
In favor I will show
you compassion.
11 YOUR GATES WILL
ALWAYS STAND OPEN,
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.
12 For the Nation or
Kingdom
That will not serve you
will Perish;
It will be utterly
ruined.
13 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.
14 THE SONS OF
YOUROPPRESSORS
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.
15 Although you have
been Forsaken and Hated,
With no one traveling
through,
I WILL MAKE YOU THE
EVERLASTING PRIDE
AND JOY OF ALL
GENERATIONS.
16 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
MIGHTYT ONE OF JACOB.
17 Instead of Bronze I
will bring you Gold,
Instead of wood I will
bring you bronze,
And iron in place of
stones.
I will make Peace your
Governor
And Righteousness your
Ruler.
18 No longer will
Violence be heard in your land,
Nor Ruin or Destruction
within your Borders,
BUT YOU WILL CALL
YOUR WALLS SALVATION
AND YOUR GATES
PRAISE.
19 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.
20 Your sun will never
set again
And your moon will wane
no more;
THE LORD WILL BE
YOUR EVRLASTING LIGHT,
And your days of sorrow
will end.
21 THEN WILL ALL
YOUR PEOPLE BE RIGHTEOUS
AND THEY WILL
POSSESS 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.
[Zion, The City
of God, The Bride of Christ,
The Israel of God, will
be Glorious;
God will be Her
Everlasting Light.
Her Gates will always
stand open,
And the Nations will
bring their wealth to Her.
Her Walls will be
Salvation and Her gates Praise.
God Almighty will bring
this about swiftly,
In a moment of time,
And this will be the
Everlasting condition of His Bride.]
