The Glorious Light of Divine Approval
27. What constant light shines upon Jehovah’s “woman”?
27 The intensity of the light that shines upon Jerusalem is described by Jehovah when he states: “For you the sun will no more prove to be a light by day, and for brightness the moon itself will no more give you light. And Jehovah must become to you an indefinitely lasting light, and your God your beauty. No more will your sun set, nor will your moon go on the wane; for Jehovah himself will become for you an indefinitely lasting light, and the days of your mourning will have come to completion.” (Isaiah 60:19, 20) Jehovah will continue to be “an indefinitely lasting light” for his “woman.” He will never “set” like the sun or “wane” like the moon.d His constant light of approval shines upon anointed Christians, the human representatives of God’s “woman.” They, along with the great crowd, enjoy such a blaze of spiritual light that no darkness on the world’s political or economic scene can diminish it. And they have confidence in the bright future that Jehovah has set before them.—Romans 2:7; Revelation 21:3-5.

d The apostle John uses similar language in describing “new Jerusalem,” the 144,000 in their heavenly glory. (Revelation 3:12; 21:10, 22-26) This is fitting, for “new Jerusalem” represents all members of the Israel of God after they receive their heavenly reward, becoming with Jesus Christ the capital part of God’s “woman,” “the Jerusalem above.”—Galatians 4:26.
