Isaiah 56:1

THE PREPARATION NEEDED ON THE PART OF THOSE WHO WISH TO BE ADMITTED TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. (Isaiah 56:1-12)

judgment--equity. John the Baptist preached similarly a return to righteousness, as needed to prepare men for Messiah's first coming (Luke 3:3, Luke 3:8-14). So it shall be before the second coming (Malachi 4:4-6).

near to come-- (Matthew 3:2; Matthew 4:17), also as to the second coming (Isaiah 62:10-11; Luke 21:28, Luke 21:31; Romans 13:11-12; Hebrews 10:25).

righteousness--answering to "salvation" in the parallel clause; therefore it means righteousness which bringeth salvation (Isaiah 46:13; Romans 3:25-26).
