Isaiah 60:7
“All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar; and I will beautify my glorious house.”
What does Isaiah 60:7 mean?
This passage speaks to a future time of restoration and blessing when even distant peoples and resources will flow toward God's temple. Kedar and Nebaioth were Arab regions known for their flocks and herds, so Isaiah is using their wealth as a concrete image of how nations will bring their finest gifts to honor God. The point isn't about literal animal sacrifices (the temple system had ended by Isaiah's time of writing), but rather a poetic way of saying that God's house will be honored and enriched beyond anyone's current imagination. It's a message of hope that God's purposes will ultimately draw the world's attention and resources toward what matters most.
