From one New Moon to another
This phrase emphasizes the regularity and continuity of worship. In the Hebrew context, the New Moon was a significant time marker, often associated with religious observance and renewal (Numbers 28:11-15). The Hebrew word for "New Moon" is "chodesh," which signifies a new beginning or renewal. This reflects the idea of perpetual worship and the constant renewal of the believer's relationship with God. Historically, the New Moon was a time for offerings and special gatherings, symbolizing a fresh start and a reminder of God's provision and sovereignty.

and from one Sabbath to another
The Sabbath, or "Shabbat" in Hebrew, is a day of rest and worship, instituted by God in the creation narrative (Genesis 2:2-3). It serves as a weekly reminder of God's creation and His covenant with His people. The phrase underscores the importance of regular, rhythmic worship and rest, which is central to the life of faith. The Sabbath is a time set apart for reflection, community, and spiritual rejuvenation, pointing to the ultimate rest found in Christ (Hebrews 4:9-10).

all mankind
This phrase indicates the universal scope of God's plan for worship and redemption. The Hebrew term "kol basar" (all flesh) suggests inclusivity, extending beyond Israel to encompass all nations and peoples. This reflects the prophetic vision of a time when God's glory will be recognized by all humanity, fulfilling the promise that through Abraham's seed, all nations will be blessed (Genesis 12:3). It anticipates the eschatological vision of unity and peace under God's reign.

will come to worship before Me
The act of coming to worship signifies a deliberate and voluntary approach to God's presence. The Hebrew verb "bow" (to come) implies movement towards God, both physically and spiritually. Worship, in this context, is an act of reverence and submission, acknowledging God's sovereignty and holiness. This phrase highlights the relational aspect of worship, where believers draw near to God, experiencing His presence and glory.

says the LORD
The declaration "says the LORD" affirms the authority and certainty of the prophecy. The Hebrew term "Yahweh" is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His faithfulness and unchanging nature. This divine assurance underscores the reliability of God's promises and His ultimate plan for creation. It serves as a reminder that the vision of universal worship is not merely a human aspiration but a divine decree, assured by the One who is sovereign over all.

(23) From one new moon to another . . .--Under the Mosaic law Israelites were bound, at least in theory, to attend the temple at the three great feasts. In the new Jerusalem, as the prophet thought of it, the pilgrimages would be both more frequent and more universal. Every sabbath and new moon would witness not Israel only, but "all flesh," thronging into the courts of the temple. It lies in the nature of the case that the words never have received, and never can receive, a literal fulfilment. The true realisation is found in the new Jerusalem of Revelation 21:22-27, of the perpetual sabbatism of Hebrews 4:9, and even that glorious vision is but the symbol of spiritual realities.

Verse 23. - From one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another. Not that "new moons" and "sabbaths" will continue to be observed, for "new moons" have already lapsed, and "sabbaths" too will lapse when life is one perpetual sabbath passed in the worship of God. The phrase, used by the prophet is intended to express absolute continuance without an interval. Shall all flesh come to worship before me (comp. Psalm 65:2). The prophet still uses habitual modes of expression, though speaking of a time and circumstances to which they are no longer appropriate. "The literal meaning," as Dr. Pusey says ('Prophecy of Jesus,' p. 39), "was physically impossible." "All flesh," in all regions of the "new earth," could not worship in one spot, "and so it was plain that Isaiah spoke of a worship other than that at any given place" - of a worship such as that whereof our Lord spoke to the Samaritan woman, "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father" (John 4:21).
