Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night - (Revelation 21:25.) The gates are ever open to receive new offerings and converts (Isaiah 26:2). So in the case of the spiritual Israel now (1 Corinthians 16:9; Acts 14:27; Revelation 3:8). In time of peace the gates of a city are open: so, under the Prince of Peace, there shall be no need of barring gates against invaders.

That (men) may bring unto thee the forces (the riches) of the Gentiles; and (that) their kings (may be) brought - as willing captives to the trust; or, if not willingly, be brought by judgments to submit to Israel (Isaiah 60:12; Isaiah 60:14). Gesenius explains it ( naahag (H5090) nªhuwgiym (H5090)), 'may be brought escorted by a retinue.'
