Isaiah 60:7

     7. Kedar— (Isa 21:16; So 1:5), in the south of Arabia-Deserta, or north of Arabia-Petræa; they traded in flocks (Eze 27:21).

      Nebaioth—son of Ishmael, as was Kedar. Father of the Nabatheans in Arabia-Petræa.

      minister—by coming up as an acceptable sacrifice.

      come up with acceptance—that is, acceptably. The rams offering themselves voluntarily (Ps 68:30; Ro 12:1; 1Pe 2:5), without waiting for any other priest, answer to believers strong in faith and lamb-like meekness; and in the white fleece-like robe of sanctity [VITRINGA].

      house of my glory—the temple (Eze 41:1-26; Hag 2:7, 9; Mal 3:1).

Isaiah 64:11

     11. house—the temple.

      beautiful—includes the idea of glorious (Mr 13:1; Ac 3:2).

      burned— (Ps 74:7; La 2:7; 2Ch 36:19). Its destruction under Nebuchadnezzar prefigured that under Titus.

      pleasant thingsHebrew, "objects of desire"; our homes, our city, and all its dear associations.
