Isaiah 60:1 – “Arise; Shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee …” The main reason given by Isaiah why the people should arise and shine is because their light has come and the glory of the LORD is risen upon them.
In this verse, the light referred to here is our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God.
4: 6 refers to Him as the Sun of Righteousness. John 8:12 and 9:5 describes Jesus Christ as the "Light of the world" The “rising and shining” of our light also has to do with God's glory shining through us.
This succeeding verses mentioned this – “the glory of the Lord is risen upon you” and “But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you” We have no light of our own, except that which comes from the Lord. And with the coming of the greater the lesser terminates.
No matter how great a situation, person or thing is, when a greater, stronger and more dominant appears, the lesser is done away with. Light terminates darkness. When Light comes, darkness flees, scampers away, ab-sconds… John 1:5 – “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not” I declare that every darkness in our lives shall give way to the light of God...
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
Amen & Amen
