{Amidst the light thereof} (dia tou ph(9374)os aut(8873)). Rather
"by the light thereof." From  Isa 60:3,11,20 . All the moral and
spiritual progress of moderns is due to Christ, and the nations
of earth will be represented, including "the kings" (hoi
basileis), mentioned also in  Isa 60:3 , "do bring their glory
into it" (pherousin t(886e) doxan aut(936e) eis aut(886e)). Present active
indicative of pher(935c). Swete is uncertain whether this is a
picture of heaven itself or "some gracious purpose of God towards
humanity which has not yet been revealed" and he cites  22:2  in
illustration. The picture is beautiful and glorious even if not
realized here, but only in heaven.
