ISAIAH 60:1 TPT
“RISE UP in SPLENDOR and be RADIANT, for your LIGHT has dawned, and YAHWEH’S GLORY now STREAMS from YOU!
Light - illumination or luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness, etc.):- bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
When God gives us a new name, our whole being changes.
ISAIAH 60:2 TPT
Look carefully!
Darkness blankets the earth, and thick clouds covers the nations, BUT YAHWEH ARISES UPON YOU and the BRIGHTNESS of HIS GLORY appears OVER YOU!
Challenges and darkness are like problems.
Future is so bleak and dark BUT the Lord is upon us.
What is more glorious? Laughing in the spirit
The Lord is filling us with the glory, peace and joy.
When the glory of God comes above us, we will be very attractive.
ISAIAH 60:3 TPT
Nations will be ATTRACTED to your RADIANT LIGHT and kings to the SUNRISE-GLORY of YOUR NEW DAY.
Everyday is a new day for us because the sun rises.
When the sun rise, it signifies the beginning of a new day.
The Son of righteousness rises upon us to give us a sunrise-glory.
God has given us a new day.
When Jesus Christ rises from the death, it is the beginning of our new day.
New day, new things will happen in our lives.
ISAIAH 60:4 TPT
LIFT UP your eyes HIGHER!
LOOK all AROUND you and believe, for your sons are RETURNING from far away and your daughters are being tenderly carried home.
WATCH as they all gather together, EAGER to COME BACK to you!”
See in the spirit as everything begins in the spiritual.
ISAIAH 60:5 TPT
“THEN you will SEE with UNDERSTANDING and be RADIANT.
Your HEART will be THRILLED and SWELL with JOY.
The greatest thrill that we can every experience is our Lord Jesus.
ISAIAH 60:5 TPT
The FULLNESS of the SEA will FLOW to YOU and the WEALTH of the NATIONS will be TRANSFERRED to YOU!
When we are in Christ, we are capable of giving birth to spiritual children.
Everyone is productive because we are in Christ.
There is no barrenness.
Be fruitful and multiply.
When we are born again, God has given us the ability to give birth in the spiritual.
ISAIAH 60:6 TPT
CARAVANS of CAMELS will cover your land, young CAMELS LOADED with GOODS from Midian and Ephah.
All the wealthy merchants from Sheba will COME, bearing gold and frankincense and singing the PRAISES of YAHWEH!
Camels were a symbol of wealth.
ISAIAH 60:7 TPT
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered TO YOU, and the rams of Nebaioth will be YOURS as acceptable sacrifices on MY ALTAR, and I will adorn with MORE GLORY my GLORIOUS TEMPLE.
We are the temple of God.
God lives in the heart of people.
ISAIAH 60:8 TPT
“Who are these who soar like clouds, flying like doves into their portals?
ISAIAH 60:9 TPT
Indeed, the distant islands eagerly look for me, with their LARGE SHIPS leading the WAY.
They are bringing Zion’s children from afar.
They COME with offerings of SILVER and GOLD to HONOR the NAME of YAHWEH, YOUR GOD, the Holy One of Israel,
for HE has GLORIFIED YOU!”
When God has glorified us, people will come.
First started with camels and now the large ships.
ISAIAH 60:10 TPT
“Foreigners will rebuild your walls and their kings will serve you. Even though I punished you in my anger, I will RESTORE you in my GRACIOUS FAVOUR and show you my TENDER COMPASSION.
No matter what has happened to us in the past, the restoration will be restored by God.
We will forget all the years of crying and misery.
ISAIAH 60:11 TPT
Your GATEWAYS (Doors) will ALWAYS remain WIDE OPEN AROUND the CLOCK to LET IN the procession of kings BRINGING their CONSTANT STREAM of the RICHES of the nations.
How does wealth and riches come to us? - Our gateways (doors) will always remain wide open around the clock.
OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART BIG BIG, WIDE WIDE!
Our heart open big big and wide wide to people.
Camel is a symbol of wealth.
Door needs to be big and wide so that wealth can come in.
If we open our door to one person, we will only have one blessing.
More doors, more camels can come in.
Is your heart like a closed gate and wall?
Closed gate?
Or Open gate?
Will you OPEN the DOOR of your HEART first to JESUS, THEN to OTHERS?
ISAIAH 60:12 TPT
The nation or kingdom that refuses to serve you will perish and be utterly ruined.
ISAIAH 60:13 TPT
LEBANON’S GLORY will be YOURS.
The cypress, fir, and pine will COME to YOU to BEAUTIFY the SITE of MY HOLY PLACE. And I will GLORIFY the PLACE where I REST my FEET.
Is our heart a place where God can rest?
When we rest in our heart, only God can speak to us, then only the glory and wealth of God can come in.
ISAIAH 60:14 TPT
The descendants of your oppressors will come bowing low before you, and all who hated you will bow down at your feet.
They will call you The BEAUTIFUL City of YAHWEH, GLORIOUS Zion of the Holy One of Israel.”
ISAIAH 60:15 TPT
“Although once you were rejected and despised, undesirable for anyone to pass through you, I WILL MAKE YOU MAJESTIC FOREVER, a source of JOY for every generation.
God has given us the royal standing.
When people see us, they will laugh because they see such joy and restoration upon us.
Crying brings out all the grief that is inside us.
ISAIAH 60:16 TPT
You will guzzle the milk of nations and suckle at the breast of kings.
You will KNOW me INTIMATELY that I AM YAHWEH, YOUR SAVIOR, for I AM the MIGHTY HERO who rules over Jacob’s tribes, your Kinsman-Redeemer!”
Everyone of us will grow intimately with Christ as our Saviour.
ISAIAH 60:17 TPT
“I will REPLACE -
your copper with GOLD,
your iron with SILVER,
your wood with copper,
and your stone with iron.
I will install PEACE and PROSPERITY as your government and RIGHTEOUSNESS as your overseer.
Kingdom of God is within us (righteousness, peace, joy and prosperity).
Gold symbolises God's divine nature.
God replaces our guilt with godliness.
God takes away our stubborn heart, and give us a heart of flesh, a heart of gold and a heart of silver.
A heart that is no more selfish but God's divine nature.
We have been given a spiritual heart transplant.
He has remove away our copper heart.
ISAIAH 60:18 TPT
Threats of violence will no longer be heard in your land, nor will destruction and ruin be found within your borders.
You will NAME your WALLS SALVATION and your GATES PRAISE.”
Instead of putting up "walls" to keep people out, we become WELLS of SALVATION for people to COME and DRINK the LIVING WATERS of JESUS.
Instead of our gates (our lips) speaking complaints etc, our GATES (lips) speak forth PRAISES to our God.
Our heart has become a well for others so they can drink of Jesus.
Out of the abundance of our heart, our mouth speaks.
Each one of us is the well of salvation.
Drink from him. Have an encounter with Him.
When we drink from the living waters, river flows.
Drink from Jesus and our lives will be transformed.
We will give to others to drink.
ISAIAH 60:19 TPT
“The sun will no longer be needed to brighten the day, nor the moon to shine at night, for YAHWEH will be your unfailing light; YOUR GOD will be YOUR GLORY!
ISAIAH 60:20 TPT
There will be NO MORE sunsets or new moons, for Yahweh will be your everlasting light and your DAYS of SADNESS will be OVER.
Live one day at a time.
PSALMS 126:1-2 TPT
It was like a dream come true when YOU FREED US from our bondage and brought us back to Zion!
We LAUGHED and LAUGHED and OVERFLOWED with GLADNESS.
We were left SHOUTING for JOY and SINGING your PRAISE.
ALL the nations SAW it and JOINED IN, saying, “The LORD has done GREAT MIRACLES for THEM!”
PSALMS 126:3-4 TPT
YES, HE did MIGHTY MIRACLES and WE are OVERJOYED!
Now, Lord, do it again!
Restore us to our former GLORY!
May STREAMS of your REFRESHING FLOW over us until our dry HEARTS are DRENCHED again.
PSALMS 126:5 TPT
Those who SOW their TEARS as SEEDS will REAP a HARVEST with JOYFUL SHOUTS of GLEE.
PSALMS 126:6 TPT
They may weep as they go out carrying their SEED to SOW,
but they will RETURN with JOYFUL LAUGHTER and SHOUTING with GLADNESS as they BRING back ARMLOADS of BLESSING and a HARVEST OVERFLOWING!
ISAIAH 60:21 TPT
All your people will be RIGHTEOUS and will PERMANENTLY POSSESS the land.
I PLANTED THEM there as a tender sapling, the WORK of MY own HANDS to DISPLAY MY GLORY.
God doesn't give and take it away from us.
The church of Jesus Christ is to display the glory of God.
ISAIAH 60:22 TPT
I will MULTIPLY the LEAST of you into a THOUSAND and the WEAKEST one into a MIGHTY nation.
I AM YAHWEH, and when the right time comes, I will accomplish it SWIFTLY!”
DEUTERONOMY 1:11 NLT
And may the LORD, the GOD of your ancestors, MULTIPLY you a THOUSAND TIMES MORE and BLESS you AS HE PROMISED!
