Isaiah 60:3-7
60:3 a The transformation of all nations and mighty kings will be so radical that all kingdoms will take notice and be drawn to God through his people (see also Rev 21:24 b).Summary for Isa 60:5-7: 60:5-7 c Zion’s losses from warfare will be restored by the wealth of many lands; foreign nations will be eager to make a contribution (60:11 d; 61:6 e; 66:12 f; see Rev 21:26 g).
60:6 h Midian and Ephah were Midianite tribes located southeast of Israel.
• Sheba was a region in southern Arabia (see 1 Kgs 10:1-2 i) famed for frankincense (Jer 6:20 j).
• These were real nations—the restoration would be a historical reality, not just an idealistic vision. Many nations would submit themselves to and worship the Lord.
60:7 k Kedar was a tribe in Arabia (21:16-17 l).
• Nebaioth was an Ishmaelite tribe.
• I will make my Temple glorious: The glory of God will be even more evident than it was in Solomon’s Temple (see 6:1-5 m; Hag 2:9 n; Rev 21:11 o, 22 p).
