‏ Isaiah 66:18-23

Summary for Isa 66:18-23: 66:18-23  a When God reveals his glory to all people, the nations join in God’s plan of redemption; they can even serve as priests and Levites before him. The godly from all nations last from generation to generation as they serve the living God.
66:19  b The sign is the proclamation of God’s glory among the nations (66:20  c). God will establish a righteous and faithful new people consisting of godly Gentiles together with faithful Israelites (Rev 15:3-4  d; see also Acts 2  e).
66:21  f That some of the Gentiles would serve as priests and Levites signifies the removal of God’s distinction between Hebrews and Gentiles (see 56:7  g; see also Gal 6:15  h; Eph 4:11-13  i).
66:22  j always be my people: God’s promise to Abraham was secure (Gen 17:7  k; see also Gal 3:8  l, 14  m).

• a name that will never disappear: The identity of this new people will last forever (see Isa 59:21  n).
