Elisha Vision – Commentary

Isaiah 60 has been a favorite of mine for many years. But, it is usually applied to individual believers. Yet, the literal city of Jerusalem, (often called Zion), is the subject of Isaiah’s prophecy. Without dissecting every verse, let me emphasize a few points for your encouragement.

1. The timing is the regathering of Jews from all countries as mentioned in verse 4.
2. The wealth of the world will come to Israel because Yehovah has glorified Israel. verse 9.
3. Jerusalem will be called: “the city of Yehovah, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.” verse 14.
4. She will be changed from forsaken and hated to: “eternal excellence and a joy of many generations.” verse 15.
5. Salvation will prevail and even the land promise is fulfilled: “Also your people shall all be righteous; They shall inherit the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, That I may be glorified.” verse 21.
6. Finally: “A little one shall become a thousand, And a small one a strong nation. I, Yehovah, will hasten it in its time.” verse 22.

The conclusion of this prophecy is that the glory of Yehovah God is revealed because he shares His glory with His chosen ones of Israel and especially Jerusalem. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
