Contrast Between Light and Dark

Arise, shine; for your light has come!  And the glory of The Lord is risen upon you.  For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and his glory will be seen upon you.  Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. The multitudes of camels shall cover your land, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come; They shall bring gold and incense, And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord. (Is. 60:1-2, 5-6)
In contrast to the season of glory for those who prepare and hear, it will be a season of darkness or, as some translations say, “gloom” for those unprepared. The good news is that we are not created for darkness and gloom, but for glory!  In this passage, the camels brought wealth in caravans.  So for us as believers, this means the camels, or their modern-day equivalents, are coming with provision!
This will also be connected with the transference of wealth on international levels.  For those who watch and listen, they will hear the voice of the Lord for huge financial blessings.  The Joseph generation is going to emerge in this season as never before.
