• At His first advent Jesus came as the dawning of a new day, bringing light to those sitting in darkness, as we see in Luke 1:78-79. But the Jew rejected the light and as far as they were concerned they put it out. Consequently, as we saw in chapter 49, He was given for “a light to the Gentiles” to be “My salvation unto the end of the earth.” His second advent will be in “the day of Thy power” when “Thy people shall be willing”, according to Psalm 110. Then at last they will come into the full blaze of that light and reflect it, as the moon reflects the light of the sun. (“Isaiah 60” by F.B. Hole)
