15. And the great blessings after a short affliction

Berean Study Bible

All the flocks of Kedar
The phrase "All the flocks of Kedar" refers to the nomadic tribes descended from Ishmael, specifically Kedar, one of his sons. Historically, Kedar was known for its wealth in livestock, particularly sheep and goats. The mention of Kedar's flocks symbolizes the wealth and abundance that will come to Zion. In a broader spiritual sense, it signifies the gathering of nations and peoples to worship the Lord, as Kedar was a Gentile nation. This reflects the prophecy of the inclusion of Gentiles into the covenant blessings, a theme that resonates throughout Isaiah.

will be gathered to you
The phrase "will be gathered to you" indicates a divine orchestration where the wealth and resources of the nations are brought to Zion. This gathering is not merely a physical convergence but also a spiritual one, where people from all nations are drawn to the light of God's glory. The Hebrew root for "gathered" (קָבַץ, qavats) often implies a purposeful assembly, suggesting that this is part of God's redemptive plan for His people.

the rams of Nebaioth
"Nebaioth" was another son of Ishmael, and like Kedar, his descendants were known for their pastoral wealth. The "rams of Nebaioth" symbolize strength and sacrifice, as rams were often used in sacrificial offerings. This imagery points to the future worship and dedication of the Gentiles to the God of Israel. It also foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God, who brings all nations into reconciliation with God.

will serve you
The phrase "will serve you" suggests a reversal of roles where those who were once outside the covenant community now play a vital role in its worship and service. This service is not one of subjugation but of willing participation in the worship of God. It reflects the transformative power of God's kingdom, where former enemies become co-laborers in His divine plan.

they will go up on My altar
The phrase "they will go up on My altar" signifies the acceptance of Gentile offerings by God. In the Old Testament, the altar was central to worship and sacrifice, representing atonement and communion with God. The inclusion of Gentile offerings on God's altar indicates the breaking down of barriers between Jew and Gentile, a theme that is fully realized in the New Testament through Christ's atoning work.

and I will adorn My glorious house
The phrase "and I will adorn My glorious house" speaks to the beautification and glorification of God's temple, which in the New Testament context, extends to the Church, the body of Christ. The Hebrew word for "adorn" (פָּאָר, paar) implies a beautification that comes from within, suggesting that the true glory of God's house is not in its physical structure but in the presence of God and the worship of His people. This adornment is ultimately fulfilled in the eschatological vision of the New Jerusalem, where God's glory is fully revealed.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(7) Kedar.--The nomad tribes (Isaiah 21:17) come as well as the trading ones. Nebaioth, mentioned with Kedar, in Genesis 25:13, among the descendants of Ishmael, expanded iii the centuries preceding the Christian era, into the kingdom of the Nabath?an Arabs, spreading from the 'lanitic Gulf to the Hauran. The two names together include what were known to the Roman geographers as Arabia Felix and Arabia Petraea. The primary thought is that the Temple of the new Jerusalem will be supplied with its sacrifices from the inexhaustible flocks of these regions.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 7. - Kedar... Nebaioth. Arab tribes, like the Midianites and Sabaeans. (With respect to Kedar, see the comment on Isaiah 21:15.) "Nebaioth" stands for the tribe called by the Greeks and Romans the "Nabataeans," and by the Assyrians the "Nabaiti," who were one of the most powerful in the peninsula. About B.C. 645 Nathan, their king, warred with Asshur-bani-pal (Smith's' Hist. of Asshur-bani-pal,' pp. 256-298). During the Maccabee period we find the Nabataeans in alliance with the Jews, and giving them some valuable assistance (1 Macc. 5:25 1 Macc. 9:35). The locality of the Nabataeans was northern Arabia, or the tract lying between the Elanitic Gulf and the Lower Euphrates. The wealth of the Nabataeans and the Kedarenes was in their flocks and herds; and this wealth, it is prophesied, they will place, at the disposal of Israel. Mine altar... the house of my glory. The renovated Zion contains a glorious temple, and the temple has in it an altar, to which the sheep and rams are brought - not, however, to be offered in sacrifice, but to be presented to God and become a part of the wealth of the Church.
