Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 60:19

19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light , and thy God thy glory .

These shall not be at all esteemed in comparison of the Spiritual light of the Church and this is laid down as the [illegible: 1 word] of the Churches comfort as the former was for her safety, so that God will not only be a shield, but▪a Sun to her, Psa. 84. 11. [illegible: 1+ letters]ot [illegible: 1+ letters]at they shall not have the Sun, and Moon among them, but that the light of the godly as such, should principally consist in what is [illegible: 1+ letters] tual.

Christ shall scatter all darkness and ignorance, enlightning thee with the doctrines of the Gospel, and graces of his Spirit, and this shall be Everlasting, not wax, and wane, and suf[illegible: 1+ letters]r [illegible: 1+ letters]lipses▪ and settings, as the Sun, and Moon do, but it shall be con[illegible: 1+ letters]ant without shadow of change, no night, which will be undoubtedly tru[illegible: 1+ letters] of the Church in Heaven, whatever it will be, or, how near soever it will come to it here, which I presume will bear its analogy.

Always ministring matter of thy glorying in him▪ or, thy interest in this God shall be great honour [illegible: 1+ letters]o thee; or else, it is the same thing with the sentence immediately before in o[illegible: 1+ letters]her words, that will make thee glorious, a Metonymy of the Efficl[illegible: 1+ letters]t, thus he is said to give glory, Psa. 84. 11.
