Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 60:1

"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee." — Isaiah 60:1 (ASV)

Arise, shine ... —The description of the redeemed Zion—that is, the new Jerusalem—seen in the prophet’s vision as under the forms of the old. She has been prostrate, as in the darkness of Sheol (Isaiah 57:9). The word comes that calls her to rise to a new life, radiant with the glory of the Lord. In Ephesians 5:14 we have, perhaps, an echo, though not a quotation, of the prophet’s words.
