Yeshaya Perek 60

• When the final redemption occurs Eretz Yisrael shine forth its bright light.

• Divine light will shine forth on Eretz Yisrael, while the rest of the world will be covered with clouds of darkness.

• An ingathering of the exiles will occur.

• Eretz Yisrael will be happy in its heart.

• The Navi relates various nations of the world will subjugate themselves to Yisrael. Note: This is not a mater of wanting to rule over other nations. Rather it stems from the fact Yisrael will be raised to its original grandeur all will want to connect to Hashem through the Jewish nation.

• Klal Yisrael will become financially wealthy. “Bronze will turn into gold, iron into silver.”

• Violence will cease in Erets Yisrael.

• The sun will be unnecessary as Hashems light will be unveiled.

• “Your people are all righteous and will inherit Eretz Yisrael forever.”

• Yeshaya Perek 61

• Yeshaya shares that Hashem has sent him prophecies of comfort to strengthen the hearts of the Jewish nation.

• Yeshaya relates the words sent to him are not his own, personal thoughts. Rather, they were given to him directly by Hashem.

• The ruins of Eretz Yisrael will be rebuilt.

• The nations of the world will honor Yisrael.

• Am Yisrael will be recognized as a divine nation.

• Just as a seed disintegrates in the ground before it starts to grow, so, too, will Yisrael grow through the process of galus and geulah. Yisrael will first become despondent throughout the thousands of years of exile, and then finally begin to flourish and grow. (Radak).
