Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
Isaiah 60:9 — KJV
The isles. That is, “the coastlands.” Distant peoples would acknowledge the message of God’s grace (see on ch. 42:4). Today multitudes in all parts of the earth wistfully look upward, anxiously longing for the hope and peace that only the gospel can bring to their troubled hearts.
Ships of Tarshish. Ships used in the metal trade (see on ch. 2:16). The psalmist foretold a time when “the kings of Tarshish and of the isles” would “bring presents” to Israel’s king (Ps. 72:10).
Their silver. In speaking of the coming of “the desire of all nations,” Haggai declared that all the silver and the gold belong to the Lord (Haggai 2:7, 8). The psalmist foresaw kings bringing their presents to the Temple (Ps. 68:29-31). See on Isa. 60:5. Men who are truly converted bring to God their richest treasures.
