Behold, these shall come from afar: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 49:12 Go To Isaiah 49
Eusebius of Caesarea
AD 339
According to one interpretation, this refers to the lowly and Jewish people. According to another, this is the entire gathering of souls that make up the godly spiritual commonwealth. According to a still further interpretation, this is the angelic order about which the apostle says, “She is the free Jerusalem of above that is our mother,” and “you have come to Zion, the mountain and city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.” The present word is addressed to the godly communion that formerly comprised the Jews. But they were brought down and suffered a fall, forfeiting their place to the church of the Gentiles.
