Isaiah 60 · a question people ask
The chapter's last words give no date: "I, the LORD, will do this quickly in its time" (60:22) (tap quickly). The one sentence has both quickly and in its time. It doesn't say when that time is. These notes work out no date from it and set out no plan of the last things.
“The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will do this quickly in its time.””
From Favor's study of Isaiah 60
Zion is told to shine because "your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you" (60:1). Near the end she hears, "the LORD will be your everlasting light" (60:19); everlasting light, or olam, stands in the Hebrew Bible only in 60:19-20.
In Favor, questions like this come up right where they arise as you read, with the Hebrew and Greek behind the words and how the chapter leads to Jesus.
