Isa_60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Ver. 2. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth.] As once it did Egypt, {Exo_10:21} when there was light in the land of Goshen. So is there in the Church, when all the world besides lieth buried in a fog of ignorance and a bog of wickedness. Rhodes is always located in the sun. {a} The separation of the saints in light is a wonderful separation. {Exo_33:16}
But the Lord shall arise upon thee.] The Lord Christ, who is "the true light," {Joh_1:9} "the light of the world," {Joh_8:12} "the Sun of righteousness." {Mal_4:2} {See Trapp on "Mal_4:2"}
