Barnes' Notes
And the Gentiles shall come - So splendid shall be that glory, that it will attract the distant nations, and they shall come and participate in the blessings of the gospel. This contains the main statement which it is the design of this chapter to illustrate. The prophet had frequently made this statement before in general terms (compare Isaiah 2:3; Isaiah 11:10; Isaiah 49:22; Isaiah 54:3); but he here goes into a more particular account, and more fully describes the blessings which would result from this accession to the true church.
And kings - (Compare Isaiah 49:7, note; Isaiah 49:23, note; Isaiah 52:15, note).
To the brightness of thy rising - This does not mean that the church was to arise with the splendor of the sun; but ' thy rising' means the rising upon her - called her rising, because it would shed its beams on her. It is correctly rendered by Lowth - ' The brightness of thy sunrising;' by Noyes and Herder. ' The brightness that riseth upon thee.'
