Therefore The subject of this chapter , says Bp. Lowth , is the great increase and flourishing state of the church of God , by the conversion and accession of the heathen nations to it; which is set forth in such ample and exalted terms , as plainly shew that the full completion of this prophecy is reserved for future times. This subject is displayed in the most splendid colours , under a great variety of images highly poetical , designed to give a general idea of the glories of that perfect state of the church of God , which we are taught to expect in the latter times; when the fulness of the Gentiles shall come in , and the Jews shall be converted and gathered from their dispersions , and "the kingdom of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ."

Isaiah 60:12

For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly destroyed.

The glory6 parallels

That is , the cedar; and as the choice timber of Lebanon beautified Solomon's temple , that footstool of Jehovah; so shall the peculiar advantages of every nation , and of every description of men , concur to beautify the church of Christ , which He has determined to make glorious. The language then becomes more energetic , and the images employed more grand and magnificent; and nothing can answer to the glorious description but some future exalted state of the church on earth , or the church triumphant in heaven; though several expressions seem to limit it to the church below
