Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 66:19

_ _ sign — a banner on a high place, to indicate the place of meeting for the dispersed Jewish exiles, preparatory to their return to their land (Isaiah 5:26; Isaiah 11:12; Isaiah 62:10).

_ _ those that escape of them — the Gentile survivors spared by God (see on Isaiah 66:18; Zechariah 14:16). Isaiah 2:2, Isaiah 2:3; Micah 5:7; and Zechariah 14:16-19 represent it, not that the Jews go as missionaries to the Gentiles, but that the Gentiles come up to Jerusalem to learn the Lord’s ways there.

_ _ Tarshish — Tartessus in Spain, in the west.

_ _ Pul — east and north of Africa: probably the same as Philoe, an island in the Nile, called by the Egyptians Pilak, that is, the border country, being between Egypt and Ethiopia [Bochart].

_ _ Lud — the Libyans of Africa (Genesis 10:13), Ludim being son of Mizraim (Egypt): an Ethiopian people famous as bowmen (Jeremiah 46:9): employed as mercenaries by Tyre and Egypt (Ezekiel 27:10; Ezekiel 30:5).

_ _ Tubal — Tibarenians, in Asia Minor, south of the Caucasus, between the Black Sea and Araxes. Or, the Iberians [Josephus]. Italy [Jerome].

_ _ Javan — the Greeks; called Ionians, including all the descendants of Javan, both in Greece and in Asia Minor (Genesis 10:2-4).

_ _ my glory ... Gentiles — (Malachi 1:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 66:15-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 66:19

A sign — By this may be understood Christ, Luke 2:34, or the ministry of the word attended with miracles, these were set up among the Jews first, then among the Gentiles. Afar off — To all the quarters of the world. They shall — This was eminently made good after the destruction of Jerusalem, when the believers among the Jews, as well as the apostles went about publishing the gospel to all people, which was declaring the Lord's glory.
