(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Amidst the light thereof (dia tou phōtos autēs). Rather “by the light thereof.” From Isa 60:3, Isa 60:11, Isa 60:20. All the moral and spiritual progress of moderns is due to Christ, and the nations of earth will be represented, including “the kings” (hoi basileis), mentioned also in Isa 60:3, “do bring their glory into it” (pherousin tēn doxan autōn eis autēn). Present active indicative of pherō. Swete is uncertain whether this is a picture of heaven itself or “some gracious purpose of God towards humanity which has not yet been revealed” and he cites Rev 22:2 in illustration. The picture is beautiful and glorious even if not realized here, but only in heaven.
