This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_66:18 For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
Ver. 18. For I know (or, I will punish) their works and their thoughts.] Or, Yea, their thoughts which they may think to be free. See Jer_6:19.
It shall come to pass that I will gather.] It is easy to observe that this chapter consisteth of various passages interwoven the one within the other; of judgments to the wicked, of mercies and comforts to the godly, &c.
All nations and tongues.] A plain prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles to the kingdom of Christ; for which purpose the miraculous gift of tongues was bestowed upon the apostles.
And they shall come and see my glory,] i.e., In Christ, who is the brightness of his Father’s glory; and in sending of whom the glory of his truth, wisdom, power, justice, and goodness shone forth as the sun at noon.
