Holy Scripture

Isaiah 60:20

A church father on this verse
“We must keep in mind, however, that the Word promises to the righteous through the mouth of Isaiah that days will come when not the sun but the Lord will be to them an everlasting light, and God will be their glory. And it is from misunderstanding, I think, some pestilent heresy that gave an interpretation to the word…”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — AGAINST CELSUS 6:51

In context

18And injustice shall no more be heard in thy land, nor destruction nor misery in thy coasts; but thy walls shall be called Salvation, and thy gates Sculptured Work.

19And thou shalt no more have the sun for a light by day, nor shall the rising of the moon lighten thy night; but the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and God thy glory.

— Isaiah 60:20 —

21Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, preserving that which they have planted, even the works of their hands, for glory.

22The little one shall become thousands, and the least a great nation; I the Lord will gather them in due time.
