Isaiah 60:3 says, “And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” This Passage is said to refer to Israel.
There are many Passages in the Bible that tell of what will happen. God determines the future, so it is with certainty that God has spoken to Isaiah the Prophet of the event that will happen in the above passage. There is no date certain for what will happen, so people look for any earthly signs and other indications. People make annual pilgrimages to Israel, and statesmen visit its powers that be. People, regardless of status, have paid their visit to Jerusalem. But as Revelation 21:23 says, “And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb,” do these people actually look for and see a divine light shining via the spirit of Jesus?
To paraphrase Shakespeare, ‘Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.’ But it seems that those who come away from Israel, regardless of status, have come in their own darkness and left in their own darkness if such a divine light exists. Certainly those who’ve attacked Israel are fogged by their darkness.
In other places, the Light seems to cynical minds to flicker with uncertainty, like a candle that is threatened by a light wind but continues to stay lit. Seems there are enough earthly problems that cast people into darkness, and all their religious school learning and attending houses of worship have not done much to ensure that they look for and see the Light of the Lamb.
But the Light does exist, as David testifies to it in Psalms 27:1. Our salvation is guided by the Lord, and the path is lit toward it. If only we can remove the fog that others want to keep over us...
