Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 66:12

12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream , then shall ye suck , ye shall be born upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees q.

That this promise respects the times of the Messias seems plain; not only from the consideration that no history giveth us any account of any great or long peace or prosperity the Jews had before that time, nor indeed then, if we understand it not of a Spiritual Gospel peace, which Christ preached to them that were nigh as well as to those [illegible: 1+ letters]sar off, Eph. 2. 17.

It also appears from the mention of the glor[illegible: 1+ letters] of the Gentiles a[illegible: 1+ letters] a flowing stream, which can hardly be understood of any thing but Christ and the preaching of the Gospel to the Gentiles. But I leave it to the issues of Providence to expound and determine, whether the Prophecy of this text doth not relate, to a further conversion and calling of the Jews then [illegible: 1+ letters]ath been yet seen.

When Christ was revealed to the Jews not those only of the Gentiles, but those of the Jews who belonged to Gods election sucked Gospel doctrine, the Gentiles were born upon the sides of Hierusalem and dandled upon her knees, as first hearing from the Apostles who were some of the Daughters of Hierusalem, members of the Jewish-Church, the glad tidings of Salvation.
