Commentators explain that God's promise to replace brass with gold and iron with silver is a powerful metaphor for a complete and glorious transformation. This points to the superior glory of the new covenant in Christ, the beautifying effect of the gospel on society, and God's plan to continually bless His people with something far better than what they had before.
