Guiding Questions: Isaiah 60

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Who is encouraged to “rise”?
Isaiah 60:4 speaks of “all have gathered and returned”. To whom does this refer and where have they returned?
Will the return be accompanied by largesse or by privation (Isaiah 60:5-7)?
Will the “restoration” find opposition on the part of the “goyim” (the nations) or will there will be cooperation?
In Isaiah 60:14, what city is “the city of God”, unique to Israel?
And, who will bring all this about (Isaiah 60:16)?
What is meant by the poetic reference in Isaiah 60:19 that “God will be your eternal light”?
And (Isaiah 60:21) at that time what will be the moral posture of the people?
