Is.58-60 [The Message]

Arise, shine! For thy light (Jesus) is come. All nations and their kings shall come to the brightness of Your radiant sunrise.

Israel is going through a bitter trial right now. The nations are all taunting her and challenging her right to exist. in effect, they are stirring the Mighty God of Heaven to rise up to defend her and fulfill His end-time plan. Yes, we Christians have come to a saving knowledge of Christ and entered into a covenant relationship with God that lets us taste the new life to come. But there is a time soon to come whereby “Every tongue will confess Him, every eye will see Him, and every knee shall bow to Him.”

We will be SO GLAD we came to Christ voluntarily (errr, the conviction of the Holy Spirit had alot to do with it). God’s glory will arise and be seen upon us. Great days ahead!
