and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

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.........Continue Reading

  1. This chapter is a prophecy of hope for God’s people. They were in a time or turmoil and destruction and must have been hard to see any good coming their way. A state we find ourselves in all too often. However, the promises of God are always there to give us peace and hope that this is temporary discomfort in light of the eternal glory of God we will experience one day if we keep the faith and believe!

  2. In spite of all Israel’e disobedience and judgement addressed in this book, neither are the end of the story. God has great plans for Israel, both in what He will accomplish through them, for them and through their enemies/gentile nations. I was struck by all the references in this chapter to how Israel will be blessed and provided for by foreign nations. In fact they will be drawn to Israel because of all the things God will do on the Jew’s behalf, but then will be the vehicle through which God will work to accomplish His will. And all this so Israel will know that He is God and that He loves and cares for them. How great for God to be their everlasting light so there will be no need for the sun and moon. It is the same thing God mentions will be true in the New Jerusalem in the book of Revelation!

  3. All nations will come to worship the God of Israel!
    The Lord will be glorified in Israel.

    “The Gentiles shall come to your light,
    And kings to the brightness of your rising.”

    “For in My wrath I struck you,
    But in My favor I have had mercy on you.”

    “And they shall call you The City of the Lord,
    Zion of the Holy One of Israel.”

    “Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
    So that no one went through you,
    I will make you an eternal excellence,
    A joy of many generations.”

    “You shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior
    And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

    “Violence shall no longer be heard in your land,
    Neither wasting nor destruction within your borders;
    But you shall call your walls Salvation,
    And your gates Praise.”

    “But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,
    And your God your glory.”
