Isaiah 60:5-8

Then thou shalt see

The glory of the millennial Church

Wealth, Commerce and Agriculture are three great interests and powers on earthen trinity of forces which have in all ages engrossed mankind.

Each one of the three will have its representatives in that vast multitude who are to ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward. (J. R. Macduff, D. D.)

The enlargement of the Church

We are likewise told how the Church shall be affected with this increase of her numbers and enlargement of her borders.

1. She will be in a transport of joy upon this account (Isaiah 60:5).

2. There will be a mixture of fear with this joy. “Thine heart shall fear,” as though it were a thing unlawful to join with the Gentiles, etc.

3. She shall be enlarged with Love, so as to leave room for all the Gentile converts.

4. She shall be struck with surprise and wonder, saying, “Who are these that fly?” etc. (E. Erskine.)
