Isaiah 60:19 NIV
The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting Light, and your God will be your glory.
In this verse, Isaiah depicts a future where God’s presence replaces all earthly sources of light and glory. The sun and moon, which govern the day and night, will no longer be necessary because the Lord Himself will be our eternal Light. This signifies a divine transformation, where God’s glory surpasses and outshines all natural and created lights.
Isaiah’s prophecy indicates a time of ultimate fulfilment when God’s presence will illuminate everything. This vision can also be seen in Revelation 21:23, which says, “The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light”. Here, the absence of the sun and moon in the new Jerusalem highlights the sufficiency and supremacy of God’s light in the eternal city.
Psalm 84:11 rightly adds to these scriptures when the psalmist says “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly”. God provides light, grace, protection, and glory to those who follow Him.
This verse calls us, as believers, to focus on the everlasting nature of God’s light and glory. It reminds us that in the end, all we need is found in Him. His presence will be our guide, our strength, and our source of eternal joy. Let us live with this hope, knowing that God’s light will never fade and His glory will always surround us.

Praise the Lord
Amen and hallelujah. Lord is our light which shines over us. It is hundred percent true that God created sun to rule the day moon and stars to rule the night. But, our Lord is everlasting evershing LIGHT, His Glory shines over our lives. He called us as, ‘ you are the light ot this world and salt to this earth’. Let our Lord’s GREATER LIGHT shine over our lives. He is Holy of holies, let His fiery fence surrounds us. in these last days let all of us confess and kneel down and submit and surrender to Him alone, because there is no one like unto Him. All the Glory, honor to our Lord Jesus. He deserves every honor.
Thank you loving heavenly Father, for your agape love, mercy and grace. Let your presence go before Him, now and for evermore. in Jesus mighty matchless name will pray. Amen.
