Isaiah 60 envisions divine light rising upon God's people while nations are drawn to that light, contributing to the Bible's wider expectation of salvation reaching the Gentiles.

The fulfillment passages listed here (Acts 26:23) illuminate the Christian application summarized as "He would show light to the Gentiles." The correspondence is meaningful within the New Testament portrait of Jesus, but where the New Testament does not explicitly quote this exact Isaiah verse as fulfilled, it is best described as a theological or messianic correspondence rather than claiming more precision than the biblical writers themselves state.
