Arise, shine, for your light has come!
The glory of Adonai has risen on you.
For behold, darkness covers the earth,
and deep darkness the peoples.
But Adonai will arise upon you,
and His glory will appear over you.
Nations will come to your light,
kings to the brilliance of your rising.
Lift up your eyes and look all around:
they all gather—they come to you
—your sons will come from far away,
your daughters carried on the hip.
-Isaiah 60:1-4
These verses come from this week's Haftarah portion and show Adonai's love for His people and the grace He shows Jerusalem. All around us people are wandering in great darkness, lost in this dying world. Yeshua's faithfulness pulled us up out of the darkness and His light guides us through every trial. He will never abandon His people or His Holy city until His glory appears for all to see. May we continually glorify the Name of Yeshua so that others will see His brilliance and seek after His kingdom
