Arise, Shine: Nations Come to Zion’s Light

Isaiah 60:1–9 is a distinct movement within Isaiah’s closing vision of restored Zion and worldwide worship. It centers on Arise, Shine: Nations Come to Zion’s Light. In Isaiah’s own horizon, true covenant faithfulness, the Spirit-anointed mission, judgment, the nations, and new creation are brought toward the book’s climax. This unit shows how the book sets human pride, false refuge, or covenant failure against the LORD’s holiness, judgment, saving action, and promised restoration. Later canonical uses are explained separately: explicit New Testament interpretation is labeled explicit, while echoes, trajectories, and foreshadowing are kept at their proper evidence level.
