Isaiah 60:20
Thy sun
shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD
shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
a. NLT: Your sun will never set; your moon will not
go down. For the LORD will be your everlasting light. Your days of mourning
will come to an end.
b. NIV: Your sun will never set again, and your moon
will wane no more; the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of
sorrow will end.
c. YLT: Thy
sun goeth no more in, And thy moon is not removed, For Jehovah becometh to thee
a light age-during. And the days of thy mourning have been completed.
d. Amplified Bible Classic: Your sun shall no more
go down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself, for the Lord shall be your
everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
e. Septuagint: For the sun shall no more set, nor
shall the moon be eclipsed; for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and
the days of thy mourning shall be completed.
f. Stone Edition Torah/Prophets/Writings: Never
again will your sun set, and your moon will not be withdrawn; for HASHEM will
be unto you an eternal light, and the days of your mourning will be ended.

1). The end of mourning for the Jewish people will
be after the second coming of Christ and the establishment of His kingdom on
earth.
a). Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because
the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me
to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the
opening of the prison to them that are bound;
61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to
give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of
righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
2). The mourning period will begin immediately after
the revelation to the Jewish people that Jesus Christ is their Messiah.
a). Zechariah 12:10-14 And I will pour upon the
house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and
of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they
shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in
bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in
Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart;
the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of
the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
12:13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and
their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
12:14 All the families that remain, every family
apart, and their wives apart.
3). As the Scriptures show, the mourning of Israel
will be the deepest of any nation in human history. How long this mourning
period will last is not stated, but surely it will last longer than the period
of mourning for the patriarchs.
a). The period of mourning for Aaron was 30 days:
Numbers 20:29.
b). The period of mourning for Moses was 30 days:
Deuteronomy 34:8.
c). The period for mourning for Jacob was a total of
77 days: Genesis 50:3, 10.
