Isaiah 60
1. The glory of the church in the abundant access of the Gentiles.
15. And the great blessings after a short affliction














(11) Thy gates shall be open continually.--The words imply (1) a state of peace in which there would be no danger of attack; and (2) the constant stream of caravans of pilgrims, With their offerings, entering by night as well as day. It is interesting to note St. John's transfer of the thought to the heavenly Jerusalem (Revelation 21:25-26).

The forces of the Gentiles.--Better, the riches, or the possessions.

That their kings may be brought . . .--The verb, as in Isaiah 20:4, 1Samuel 30:2, implies that they are brought as captives, acknowledging, with or against their will, the sovereignty of Zion.

Verse 11. - Thy gates shall be open continually. That all who seek salvation may have free access at all times. There is no fear of enemies entering, since war has ceased (Isaiah 2:4; Isaiah 11:9, etc.). The forces of the Gentiles; rather, the wealth of the Gentiles, as in ver. 5. That their kings may be brought; i.e. forced to come by their subjects, who know that their own prosperity is involved in complete submission to the Church established in Zion, and therefore compel their kings to come and render their homage in person.
