Psalm 27:1
A Psalm of David. The LORDis my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORDis the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 84:11
For the LORD Godis a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no goodthing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Amos 8:9
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

the days

Isaiah 25:8
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spokenit.

Isaiah 30:19
For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

Isaiah 35:10
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

and your moon will not wane;
The moon's consistent light without waning further emphasizes the idea of unending divine illumination and stability. In ancient cultures, the moon was often associated with change and cycles. Here, the absence of waning suggests a break from the temporal and cyclical nature of earthly life, moving towards an eternal constancy. This can be connected to the promise of God's unchanging nature and faithfulness (James 1:17).

for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
This phrase directly identifies the source of the eternal light as the LORD Himself, underscoring His role as the ultimate source of life and truth. The concept of God as light is a recurring theme in Scripture, symbolizing purity, holiness, and guidance (1John 1:5). The term "everlasting" highlights the eternal aspect of God's presence, which is a promise of unending fellowship and security for His people. This is fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ, who is described as the light of the world (John 1:4-5,John 8:12).

and the days of your sorrow will cease.
This promise of the end of sorrow speaks to the hope of redemption and restoration. In the historical context, Israel faced periods of exile and suffering, and this prophecy offers assurance of future joy and peace. The cessation of sorrow is a key element of the eschatological hope found throughout the Bible, where God will wipe away every tear and eliminate pain and mourning (Revelation 21:4). This reflects the ultimate victory over sin and death achieved through Christ's atoning work, offering believers the hope of eternal life free from suffering.

• The prophet pictures a time when the dependable rhythm of sunrise and sunset is surpassed by something better.

• God is promising unbroken favor to Zion—no more seasons of spiritual “night.” Compare the pledge of uninterrupted blessing inPsalm 121:6 and the assurance of perpetual covenant faithfulness inJeremiah 33:20-21.

•Revelation 21:23 echoes the scene: “The city has no need of the sun or of the moon, because the glory of God illuminates it.” The literal earthbound sun will keep shining until God’s final renewal, yet for redeemed Jerusalem the harsher realities tied to night—fear, vulnerability, darkness—will be gone forever.

• Moon phases speak of change and decrease; here God guarantees there will be no more waxing and waning of His goodness.

•James 1:17 reminds us that every good gift is from the Father “with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

• The Lord’s people have known cycles of revival and decline, exile and return. In this coming age, those cycles end.Isaiah 30:26 hinted at it earlier: “The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter.”

• The reason the sun and moon become unnecessary is that the Lord Himself steps in as permanent light.John 8:12 records Jesus’ claim, “I am the Light of the world,” tying the promise directly to the Messiah.

•Psalm 27:1 makes it personal: “The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?”

• Because God is eternal, His light is “everlasting.”Revelation 22:5 repeats the guarantee: “They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.”

• Light and joy belong together; when God’s light fills every corner, sorrow has no foothold.

•Isaiah 25:8 foretells, “The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face.”Revelation 21:4 fulfills it completely: “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.”

• For Israel, this ends centuries of exile, persecution, and lamentations (Jeremiah 31:12-14). For every believer grafted into God’s family, it ends all the grief borne in a fallen world (2 Corinthians 4:17).

• Notice the certainty: “will cease.” Not merely reduced, but abolished.

Isaiah 60:20 lifts our eyes to the ultimate restoration God has prepared. Natural lights that now govern days and nights will give way to the direct, unending radiance of the Lord Himself. With His presence comes unwavering security, complete joy, and the final removal of sorrow. The verse invites us to live today in confident expectation of that dawning age, trusting the God whose promises never wane.
