ETERNAL SUNLIGHT
OBSERVATION:
THE BOOK OF ISAIAH IS QUOTED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT MORE THAN ANY OTHER OLD TESTAMENT BOOK. ISAIAH’S NAME MEANS “THE LORD OF SALVATION”. HE WAS THE OFFICIAL HISTORIAN FOR KING UZZIAH AND KING HEZEKIAH. HE CHALLENGED BELIEVERS TO PLACE THEIR CONFIDENT IN THE LORD IN DIFFICULT TIMES. SOME AUTHORS DATE THE WRITINGS TO 739 B.C-690 B.C.
INTERPRETATION:
READ ISAIAH 60: 19-20.
POINTS TO PONDER:
THESE VERSES FORM THE BASIS FOR THE DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW JERUSALEM IN THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH (REF-REVELATION 21; 23 AND 22:5)
ISAIAH 60:19 HAS TIES TO PSALMS 18: 28, STATING GOD WILL ENLIGHTEN THE PSALMIST DARKNESS. PSALMS 119: 130 STATES GOD’S ENTRANCE OF HIS WORD WOULD ENLIGHTEN SPIRITUAL UNDERSTAND. THIS LIGHT IS ETERNAL, SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT.
ISAIAH 60: 20 GIVES FURTHER EVIDENCE OF SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT. PSALMS 27:1 (NKJV) THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION; WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE; OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID? THE WORD SALVATION COMBINED WITH THE WORD LIGHT MEANS “SAVING LIGHT”. THIS SPEAKS TO NO OTHER THAN CHRIST!
APPLICATION:
BELIEVERS WILL DWELL IN ETERNAL LIGHT IN HEAVEN WITH CHRIST!
