    Is.60:6-7 "The house of my glory"

    "The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord./All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory." This refers to what St John writes in the last book,"And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it." Glory of nations carry symbols and wealth which are seen. Such temporal artifices of man remain only on earth. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God so nations John refers is the earth distinct from the new earth. New heaven and the earth are new to indicate Zion the city of God.(Ps.46:4). Every saint therein has a glorious body and is redeemed from the earth by a covenant. (Ps.50:5). They worship in the beauty of holiness, in Spirit and truth. "for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people."( Is.56:7-8) is Christ Jesus, the head. "all things were created by him, and for him:/And he is before all things, and by him all things consisAll things by him consist in eternity as well. (Col.1:16-19).

    Mine house shall be called the House of prayer for all nations. So naturally they may enter to worship. " And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there."(21:25)

    "Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?"(Is.60:8) Cf. "Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God."(Ps.84:3). Of what significance is the flying body as a cloud? Here we have the rapture "For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together."(Matt.24:28)
