Isaiah 60:2

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Ver. 2. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth.] As once it did Egypt, Exo 10:21 when there was light in the land of Goshen. So is there in the Church, when all the world besides lieth buried in a fog of ignorance and a bog of wickedness. Rhodes is always located in the sun. a The separation of the saints in light is a wonderful separation. Exo 33:16

But the Lord shall arise upon thee.] The Lord Christ, who is "the true light," Joh 1:9 "the light of the world," Joh 8:12 "the Sun of righteousness." Mal 4:2 See Trapp on " Mal 4:2 "
