What the Fathers say

Isaiah 60:18

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

And he also sets out the effect of justice as to the absence of wickedness: iniquity shall no more be heard in your land, because for some time the laws will be well observed (2 Macc 3:1); or iniquity, of idolatry. Mystically, this refers to the state of future beatitude: as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us (Ps 102:12). And as to the absence of misery: wasting, as to their fields; destruction, as to men thus crushed by their enemies; your gates, in which the people assembled for judgments.
