Definition: Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Explanation: Okay, let's break down this beautiful passage from Isaiah 60:20. It’s a really powerful message about hope and God’s care. Here’s what it means in simpler terms: Basically, it says: “God is going to keep shining on you and will never leave you in darkness.” Let's unpack that a bit further: “Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself…” – This part speaks about God’s unwavering presence. Think of the sun and moon as important parts of our lives, guiding us and showing us the world. God is always present, always watching over us, and He won't ever stop shining or go away. "...for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light…” – This means God will illuminate your life with His love and goodness. He’s not just a distant figure; He actively illuminates your path and brings joy to your life. “and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.” - This is the most significant part. "Wounding" or “mourning” often refers to times of sadness, hardship, trouble, or disappointment. It means that God will ultimately bring an end to these difficult periods in your life and restore you to peace and happiness. In a nutshell, this verse offers reassurance: God is always with you, even when things are tough, and He's committed to bringing good into your life and ending the sadness that’s been happening. It’s a promise of hope and restoration. Does that make sense? Do you want me to explain any part in more detail or perhaps connect it to a specific situation you might be thinking about? For example, are you curious about: What "mourning" means in your life? How this verse applies to a particular challenge you're facing?
