Isaiah 27

Verse 6 speaks of a day when Israel will produce a fruit to fill the whole world. I wonder what Isaiah might have thought this fruit would be? I wonder how many devout Jews of that day considered that the fruit for the world would be the very presence of God? Did they even imagine that God would make some gentiles as holy as he had made made Israel? Do we Christians grasp that truth as well? Do we understand that through the blood of Jesus we are the recipients of a fruit that Isaiah and the faithful remnant in Israel longed for all of their lives? A longing that they didn't realize until death had pulled them into God's throneroom of grace.
It took me about 3 minutes to read this chapter.
