Isaiah 60

YHWH commands Zion to arise and shine as His light and glory dawn upon her amid global darkness, drawing nations, kings, and their wealth—gold, incense, and resources from Sheba, Midian, and others—to honor and rebuild her.[1][2][3] Foreigners build her walls, gates remain open continually, violence ends, and YHWH becomes her everlasting light, with her people righteous, inheriting the land forever as a strong nation.[1][3][5]
