Isa 60:11 | TNotes | STEP | 60:11 There are two likely reasons for why the gates are not closed at night (see also Rev 21:25 ): (1) So much traffic will be coming into the city (Isa 60:8-10 ) that the gates will need to be open. (2) The citizens of Zion will no longer need to fear enemies because the Lord is their protector (60:18 ); the nations that remain will be serving the Lord and his people (60:9 , 12 ).
