Isaiah 60:21

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The heaven of universal righteousness.

"Thy people also shall be all righteous." "There are no people on earth that are all righteous; there is a mixture of some bad in the best societies on this side of heaven; but there are no mixtures there. They shall be ' all righteous,' that is, they shall be entirely righteous; as there shall be none corrupt among them, so there shall be no corruption among them; the spirit of just men shall there be made perfect" (Matthew Henry). Universal righteousness includes the following things.

I. THAT EVERY MAN HAS WON HIS OWN WILL WHOLLY FOR GOD.

II. THAT EVERY MAN HAS WON HIS OWN LIFE AND CONDUCT FOR GOD.

III. THAT EVERY MAN—AS WON HIS OWN RELATIONSHIPS FOR GOD.

IV. THAT EVERY MAN HAS WON ALL HIS OWN SURROUNDINGS FOR GOD.

No picture of a material heaven can be so inspiring to us as this sublime picture of a moral state, in which everybody tries to do the right, and finds triumphant grace given to him for the doing.—R.T.
