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
If some come “from the north” and some “from the sea,” that is, from the western parts, and others come “from the land of the Persians” (meaning the highlands), then those in the first clause who are from the land far away are called “of the midday,” since the uncircumscribable southern country lies among the midday people. These people are the ones who “shall come from a distance.” But the word prophesies that they will come from all over, from the four latitudes to God and will receive the promises spoken to them.
