Isaiah chapter 60: Your day has come

60:1-3 ‘‘Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.  Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.’

It is the shortest day in the year here, today, in the Northern Hemisphere.  Your day, our day, my day has come. It is time to rise from our sleep and walk in the light.

O Key of David and sceptre of the House of Israel;

you open and no one can shut;

you shut and no one can open:

Come and lead the prisoners from the prison house,

those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
