It reflects a shift from reliance on creation to reliance on the Creator. In biblical context, the sun is often seen as a symbol of God's provision and order (<a href="/genesis/1-16.htm">Genesis 1:16</a>). This transformation points to a time of divine intervention and fulfillment of God's promises, where His presence will be sufficient for all needs.nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night The moon, like the sun, is a natural source of light, especially during the night. This phrase suggests a time when even the moon's light will be unnecessary. In ancient cultures, the moon was often associated with various deities and was a crucial part of the calendar system. The removal of the need for the moon's light indicates a new era of divine illumination and guidance, surpassing all natural and cultural systems.for the LORD will be your everlasting light This statement emphasizes the eternal nature of God's presence and guidance. The LORD being the "everlasting light" suggests a perpetual and unending source of illumination, both physically and spiritually. This concept is echoed in <a href="/revelation/21-23.htm">Revelation 21:23</a>, where the New Jerusalem has no need for the sun or moon because God's glory illuminates it. It highlights the fulfillment of God's covenant and the ultimate restoration of His people.and your God will be your splendor The term "splendor" denotes beauty, majesty, and glory. This phrase indicates that God's presence will not only provide light but will also be the source of beauty and honor for His people.

Here on earth the sun sets and the moon wanes, but in that Divine glory there is no waning and no setting. "Mourning" will belong to the past (comp. <a href="/revelation/21-4.htm" title="And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.">Revelation 21:4</a>), everlasting joy to the future.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/60.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 19-22. - The fifth stanza. Zion's crowning glories. Verse 19. - The sun shall be no more thy light by day. Here Isaiah anticipates one of the most sublime thoughts in the Revelation of St. John the Divine, viz. that the heavenly Jerusalem, illuminated perpetually by the radiance of the Divine Presence, shall need neither light of the sun by day, nor of the moon by night, but shall be sufficiently illumined by the direct and primary light which streams down upon it from God himself. Whether the sun and moon will continue to exist or not is beyond the prophet's ken - he makes no announcement on the subject; sufficient for him that the redeemed bask perpetually in a Divine radiance shed upon them by the "Father of lights" (see <a href="/revelation/21-23.htm">Revelation 21:23</a>; <a href="/revelation/22-5.htm">Revelation 22:5</a>). The germ of the idea appears in the earlier prophecies (<a href="/isaiah/24-23.htm">Isaiah 24:23</a>). For brightness; rather, for illumination. The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light. God is "the Father of lights" (<a href="/james/1-17.htm">James 1:17</a>) - "the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." (<a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a>). All other light is but his shadow and his reflex - his creature (<a href="/genesis/1-3.htm">Genesis 1:3</a>) - therefore perishable, not to be reckoned on for continuance (<a href="/psalms/102-26.htm">Psalm 102:26</a>; <a href="/hebrews/1-11.htm">Hebrews 1:11</a>). But God abides; therefore his light will abide. He is "the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever" (<a href="/hebrews/13-8.htm">Hebrews 13:8</a>). And thy God thy glory (comp. <a href="/zechariah/2-5.htm">Zechariah 2:5</a>). God will not only be the Light of the Church, but her "Glory" and boast. As the Shechinah was the glory of the first, so "the eternal unchangeable light of Jehovah, with its peaceful gentleness and perfect purity" (Delitzsch), will be the glory of the final temple. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/60-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>No לֹא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no longer ע֤וֹד (‘ō·wḏ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more will the sun הַשֶּׁ֙מֶשׁ֙ (haš·še·meš) Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8121.htm">Strong's 8121: </a> The sun, the east, a ray, a notched battlement be יִֽהְיֶה־ (yih·yeh-) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be your light לְא֣וֹר (lə·’ō·wr) Preposition-l | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_216.htm">Strong's 216: </a> Illumination, luminary by day, יוֹמָ֔ם (yō·w·mām) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3119.htm">Strong's 3119: </a> Daytime, by day and the brightness וּלְנֹ֕גַהּ (ū·lə·nō·ḡah) Conjunctive waw, Preposition | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5051.htm">Strong's 5051: </a> Brilliancy of the moon הַיָּרֵ֖חַ (hay·yā·rê·aḥ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3394.htm">Strong's 3394: </a> The moon will not לֹא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no shine יָאִ֣יר (yā·’îr) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_215.htm">Strong's 215: </a> To be or become light on you; לָ֑ךְ (lāḵ) Preposition | second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> for the LORD יְהוָה֙ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel will be וְהָיָה־ (wə·hā·yāh-) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be your לָ֤ךְ (lāḵ) Preposition | second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> everlasting עוֹלָ֔ם (‘ō·w·lām) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5769.htm">Strong's 5769: </a> Concealed, eternity, frequentatively, always light, לְא֣וֹר (lə·’ō·wr) Preposition | Noun - common singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_216.htm">Strong's 216: </a> Illumination, luminary and your God וֵאלֹהַ֖יִךְ (wê·lō·ha·yiḵ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative will be your splendor. לְתִפְאַרְתֵּֽךְ׃ (lə·ṯip̄·’ar·têḵ) Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular construct | second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8597.htm">Strong's 8597: </a> Beauty, glory <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/60-19.htm">Isaiah 60:19 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/60-19.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 60:19 The sun shall be no more your (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/60-18.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 60:18"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 60:18" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/60-20.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 60:20"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 60:20" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
