1.
“And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.”
a. and [2532
* kai] [Strong: apparently, a primary particle, having a copulative and
sometimes also a cumulative force; and, also, even, so then, too, etc.; often
used in connection (or composition) with other particles or small words:--and,
also, both, but, even, for, if, or, so, that, then, therefore, when, yet.]
b. they
shall bring [5342 * phero] [Strong: a primary verb -- for which other, and
apparently not cognate ones are used in certain tenses only; namely, oio oy'-o;
and enegko en-eng'-ko to "bear" or carry (in a very wide application,
literally and figuratively, as follows):--be, bear, bring (forth), carry, come,
+ let her drive, be driven, endure, go on, lay, lead, move, reach, rushing,
uphold.]
c. the
glory [1391 * doxa] [Strong: from the base of 1380; glory (as very apparent),
in a wide application (literal or figurative, objective or
subjective):--dignity, glory(-ious), honour, praise, worship.]
d. and
[2532 * kai] See “and” above.
e. honour
[5092 * time] [Strong: from 5099; a value, i.e. money paid, or (concretely and
collectively) valuables; by analogy, esteem (especially of the highest degree),
or the dignity itself:--honour, precious, price, some.]
1). “Honour”
here is referring to wealth in the same sense as in a few other Scriptures in
the Old and New Covenants.
a). Proverbs
3:9, 10 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all
thine increase:
3:10 So
shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new
wine.
b). 1
Timothy 5:17, 18 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double
honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
5:18 For
the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn.
And, The labourer is worthy of hi s reward.
f. of the
nations [1484 * ethnos] [Strong: probably from 1486; a race (as of the same
habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually, by
implication, pagan):--Gentile, heathen, nation, people.]
g. into [1519
* eis] [Strong: a primary preposition; to or into (indicating the point reached
or entered), of place, time, or (figuratively) purpose (result, etc.); also in
adverbial phrases:--(abundant-)ly, against, among, as, at, (back-)ward, before,
by, concerning, + continual, + far more exceeding, for (intent, purpose), fore,
+ forth, in (among, at, unto, -so much that, -to), to the intent that, + of one
mind, + never, of, (up-)on, + perish, + set at one again, (so) that,
therefore(-unto), throughout, til, to (be, the end, -ward), (here-)until(-to),
...ward, (where-)fore, with. Often used in composition with the same general
import, but only with verbs (etc.) expressing motion (literally or
figuratively).]
h. it
[846 * autos] [Strong: from the particle au (perhaps akin to the base of 109
through the idea of a baffling wind) (backward); the reflexive pronoun self,
used (alone or in the comparative 1438) of the third person , and (with the
proper personal pronoun) of the other persons:--her, it(-self), one, the other,
(mine) own, said, (self-), the) same, ((him-, my-, thy- )self, (your-)selves,
she, that, their(-s), them(-selves), there(-at, - by, -in, -into, -of, -on,
-with), they, (these) things, this (man), those, together, very, which.]

1). As
the context reveals the fulfillment of these verse will occur after the New
Heavens and New Earth are established. This is also where a large Messianic passage
from Isaiah fits in.
a). Isaiah
60:5-18 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and
be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the
forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
60:6 The
multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all
they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall
shew forth the praises of the Lord.
60:7 All
the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth
shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and
I will glorify the house of my glory.
60:8 Who
are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
Surely
the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons
from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy
God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
60:10 And
the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister
unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on
thee.
60:11 Therefore
thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that
men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be
brought.
60:12 For
the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those
nations shall be utterly wasted.
60:13 The
glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box
together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of
my feet glorious.
60:14 The
sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all
they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and
they shall call thee; The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
60:15 Whereas
thou has been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make
thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
60:16 Thou
shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings:
and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty
One of Jacob.
60:17 For
brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass,
and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors
righteousness.
60:18 Violence
shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders;
but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
b). There
will be elements of this that will be fulfilled also during the Millennial
reign of Christ Jesus.
