ISAIAH 61:1

1122

and to the HOLY O N E of Israel, because HE hath glorified thee. P 10 1 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their 2 kings shall minister unto thee: for in MY wrath I smote thee, but in MY favour have I had mercy on thee. P 11 1 Therefore thy 2 gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. P 12 1 For the nation and kingdom 3 that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterlywasted. P 13 1 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of MY sanctuary; and I will make the place of MY feet glorious. P 14 1 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come 4 bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the 5 LORD , The Zion of the HOLY O N E of Israel. P 15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, 1 I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. P 16 1 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy 6 SAVIOUR and thy 7 REDEEMER , the MIGHTY ONE of Jacob. P

17 1 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 thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. P 18 1 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; 8 but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. P 19 1 The 9 sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the 10 LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting LIGHT , and thy G O D [ TR INI TY ] thy glory. P 20 1 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the 10 LORD shall be thine everlasting LIGHT , and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. P 21 1 Thy people also shall be all 11 righteous: 12 they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of MY planting, the work of MY hands, that I may be glorified. P 22 1 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

60:12 Without a doubt, the greatest enemy facing man is not the Devil or the world, for they will be “absent” from the earth during the Millennium (Rev 20:1-6). The most dangerous enemy facing man is man himself. Clarence Larkin in The Book Of Revelation notes:

From this we see that the “Millennial Dispensation,” like all the six Dispensations before it, will end in failure. God will have tested man in “Innocence,” under “Conscience,” under “Self-Government,” under the “Headship of the Family,” under “Law,” under “Grace,” and finally under the influence of the “Holy Spirit,” free from Satanic influences, and under them all he will prove himself to be hopelessly, incurably and incorrigibly bad. If after a 1000 years of the Presence of the King, and of universal peace and blessing, man still persists in rebelling against his Maker, what will there be left for God to do? 1

60:13 We know that during the Millennium both GOD THE FATHER ( MY feet ) and GOD THE SON will co-reign together here on earth in Jerusalem ( Isa 24:23 & 25:6 and Rev 11:15 -17). Ezekiel tells us that the name of Jerusalem in that day shall be “ Jehovah-Shammah ” (The Lord is There – Ezek 48:35). NOTE – Such expressions ( MY feet ) do not mean that God possesses physical parts. God is spirit (Jn 4:24). Such expressions simply mean that God is capable of doing precisely the functions which are performed by these physical properties in man. Dr. Harold L. Willmington in Doctrine of the Trinity notes:

Some have been disturbed as they compare these statements with certain Old Testament expressions which speak of God’s arms (Deuteronomy 33:27), His eyes (Psalm 33:18), His ears (II Kings 19:16), and His mouth (Isaiah 58:14). However, these terms are simply anthropomorphic expressions. An anthropomorphic expression is a term which is used to explain some function or characteristic of God by using words descriptive of human elements. 2

60:19 It appears that during the Millennium part of the Holy Land shall be illuminated by the “Shekinah Glory” where it will not matter whether the sun shines or not (Isa 30:26 and Rev 21:23-24). This “ everlasting light ” will probably come from the New Temple, which will be located in the centre of the “Holy Oblation” near Shiloh (Ezk 48:21). 1 Larkin, Clarence.
