Isaiah – The fifth Hebrew gospel – Chapter 60

Download Notes

Arise, shine; for your Light has come, Shine, is the Hebrew word ori, it’s reflecting the light that has come upon us, being a light to the nations, a city on a hill! The light’s is not our own is it?  

Isa. 60:1 Arise, shine; for your Light has come, and the tifereth of vuvh has risen upon you. 

Alpeh signifies strength, Vav is the hook or connection, and Resh is the head or leader. So what does this tell us: That the strength and leadership comes only through a divine connection – true enlightenment and guidance come from a relationship with TMH.

2 For, see, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the nations: but vuvh shall arise upon you, and His tifereth shall be seen upon you. 3 And the nations shall come to Your Light, and melechim to the brightness of Your rising. 4 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all they gather themselves together,they come to You: Your sons shallcome from far, and Your daughters shall be nursed at Your side. 5 Then You shall see, and flow together, and Your lev shall throb, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to You, the wealth of the nations shall come to You. 

Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Yahusha is the divine light mentioned in Genesis 1:3—“Let there be light”—which existed before the physical creation of the sun and moon. 

This pre-creation light is the spiritual illumination that would later be revealed through the life of the blessed Son who fulfills the words of the prophet Isaiah by bringing the ultimate redemption and enlightenment to our world.

John 1:4-5: In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Revelation 21:23: And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the Kavod/glory of יהוה gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

The light of יהוהs presence that was removed from Adam and Eve, not only transforms His people but also attracts the nations (גּוֹיִם, goyim) and their leaders (מְלָכִים, melachim). יהוהs salvation is intended to extend His glory beyond Israel to all peoples who are willing and ready to repent and receive! 

Revelation 21:24: By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.

Isaiah prophecies a Great Exodus from the nations, a homecoming if you will, a grand restoration. Almost like a wedding invitation!!!

Matthew 24:31, where Yahusha speaks of sending out His angels with a loud trumpet call to, “gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.” The theme of  divine gathering carries over of course to Revelation 7:9 which describes a multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before the throne on a sea of glass – the chaos has been stilled, the accuser silenced.

6 The multitude of camels shall cover Your land, the dromedaries of Midyan and Ephah; all those from Sheva shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall proclaim the tehillot of vuvh. 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to You, the rams of Nevayoth shall serve You: they shall come up with acceptance upon My altar, and I will bring splendor to the Bayit of My tifereth. 8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows. 9 Because the coastlands shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring Your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, to the Name of vuvh your Elohim, and to the Kadosh-One of Yisrael, becauseHe has lifted you up. 10 And the sons of foreigners shall build up Your walls, and their melechim shall serve You: for in My wrath I smote You, but in My favor have I had rachamim on You.

Here we see a prophetic vision of the nations coming to Zion, bringing gifts and offerings, finally recognizing the glory of TMH. 

This echoes the gifts brought to Yahusha by the Babylonian Rabbinical Magicians in Matthew 2:11, a homage to the true light of Messiah. 

The mention of foreigners building walls and serving as ministers could speak to the transformation of former adversaries into allies, participating in יהוהs redemptive end time work. 

Isaiah foresees a great multitude of people returning to Zion, as if flying like clouds or doves. The metaphor of flying “like a cloud” speaks to divine movement, akin to a spiritual ascent. The “doves to their windows” symbolizes a return to safety, purity, and final divine rest.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: For the Master himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of Yah. And the dead in Moshiach will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air, and so we will always be with the Master. 

Flying like a cloud – spiritual ascension and the gathering of the righteous in the Messianic age. It symbolizes the resurrection and the ultimate gathering of Yah’s people.

Ephesians 2:19-22: So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of YAH built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Moshiach Yahusha himself being the cornerstone.

11 Therefore Your gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day, or night that men may bring to You the wealth of the nations, and that their melechim may be brought. 12 For the nation and malchut that will not serve You shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

A restored Zion is in view, whose gates are always open to receive the wealth of nations. But here there’s a stern warning: any nation that does not serve Zion will perish. This isn’t only speaking of the physical restoration of Jerusalem but also more importantly it speaks to “Acceptance,”  acceptance of יהוהs sovereignty through the Messiah.

Matthew 21:20: After Yahusha curses the barren fig tree, the disciples marvel at how quickly it withered. This withering symbolizes judgment upon those who may appear fruitful but bear no real spiritual fruit.

Then in Matthew 24:32: Yahusah speaks of the fig tree again, using it as a metaphor for recognizing the signs of His return. Just as one knows summer is near when the fig tree’s leaves come out, so should we be aware of the signs of the end times and the coming judgment.

Then in Luke 19:14, 27: Yahusah tells a parable about a nobleman who goes to a far country to receive a kingdom. His subjects, however, send a delegation after him, saying, “We do not want this man to reign over us.” Upon his return, he commands those who rejected his rule to be slain before him (Luke 19:27).  

The destruction of nations that refuse to serve speaks to the spiritual consequence of rejecting divine authority, which totally aligns with Yahusha’s warnings about the final judgment.

Wheres; those who don’t serve יהוה and choose to embrace an unnatural order (Romans 1) are not only physically separated, but eventually eternally separated from those who align themselves with the divine light. 

13 The tifereth of Levanon shall come to You, the cypress eytz, the pine eytz, and the box together, to beautify the place of My Kadosh-Place; and I will remake the place of My feet with tifereth. 14 The sons also of them that afflicted You shall come bowing to You; and all they that despised You shall bow themselves down at the soles of Your feet; and they shall call You, The city of vuvh, The Tzion of the Kadosh-One of Yisrael. 15 Whereas You have been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through You, I will make You an Eternal Excellency, a simcha of many generations. 16 You shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breasts of melechim: and you shall know that I vuvh am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Yaakov.  

We are gonna draw strength and resources from the heathen nations. The unravelling of the British Monarchy will be the sign. 

In the millennium our material and economic support will be taken from the nations and we’ll be sustained by their resources – the spiritual restoration and divine favor that is bestowed upon us in the Messianic age.

Revelation 21:24-26: The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.

Romans 15:12: And again, Isaiah says, ‘The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.

17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make your officers shalom, and your leaders tzedakah. 18 Chamas shall no more be heard in your land,  no rruin and destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Yahshua, and your gates Tehilla. 19 The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light to you: but vuvh shall be to you an everlasting Light, and your Elohim your tifereth. 20 Your sun shall no more go down; neither shall your moon withdraw itself: for vuvh shall be your everlasting Light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended. 21 Your people also shall be all tzadik: they shall inherit the land le-olam-va-ed, the Branch-Netzer of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be lifted up. 22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I vuvh will quicken them in their time.

We must look beyond this present darkness and anticipate the dawn of יהוהs eternal kingdom that’s coming upon this world where His glory shines forth and all creation is under His rule. 

Isaiah 60 is a powerful vision of the Messianic age, where the nations are invited to honor יהוה and partake in His blessings. 

But it’s also a stern warning against the rejection of divine sovereignty.

We need to have a readiness and an allegiance to יהוהs kingdom NOW!

This chapter is a reminder of the importance of recognizing the signs of the times, as Yahusha highlighted with the fig tree. It calls us to a spiritual vigilance and an open heart, just like the gates of Zion remain open to receive those who come.
