Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 66:20

20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations: upon horses, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts , to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD , as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel unto the house of the LORD .

Those who are the Children of Abraham, not considered as the Father of the Jewish Nation onely, but considered as the Father of many Nations, and as the Father of the Faithful, or who are the Children of God. being believers, and receiving Christ; and so are your Brethren, (how contemptible soever you judge them,) shall be brought out of all Nations for an offering to the Lord, God will have no more offerings of Bullocks, and Rams, or Lambs, but of Men, and Women, reasonable services, Rom. 12. 1. he will have an offering up of the Gentiles, Rom. 15. 16.

And because the Gentiles are many of them far off from Ierusalem, and as yet further off from God, Eph. 2. 17. God will find out fit means for this end, as Horses, and Litters, and Mules, and swift Beasts are to bring Me[illegible: 1+ letters] and Women long Journeys.

And they shall be brought into the Church, which began at Ierusalem, and this you may be assured of, for the Lord hath said it, who cannot ly nor repent.

And they shall come with as much joy and gladness, with as much sincerity and holiness as the Godly Jews use and exercise when they bring their offerings in clean vessels.
