ISRAEL'S GLORY AFTER HER AFFLICTION. (Isa. 60:1-22)
Arise--from the dust in which thou hast been sitting as a mourning female captive (Isaiah 3:26; Isaiah 52:1-2).
shine--or, "be enlightened; for thy light cometh"; impart to others the spiritual light now given thee (Isaiah 60:3). The Margin and GESENIUS translate, "Be enlightened"; be resplendent with posterity; imperative for the future indicative, "Thou shalt be enlightened" (Isaiah 58:8, Isaiah 58:10; Ephesians 5:8, Ephesians 5:14).
glory of the Lord--not merely the Shekinah, or cloud of glory, such as rested above the ark in the old dispensation, but the glory of the Lord in person (Jeremiah 3:16-17).
is risen--as the sun (Malachi 4:2; Luke 1:78, Margin).
