Isaiah 60:22

A little one shall become a thousand -There shall be a great increase, as if one, and that the smallest, should be multiplied to a thousand. The idea is, that the people, then small in number, would be greatly increased by the accession of the Gentile world. Lowth and Noyes render this, ‘The little one.’ Grotius, ‘The least one.’ So the Septuagint,Ο ὀλιγιστὸςHooligistos. I the Lord will hasten it in his time -Noyes, ‘Its time.’ Lowth ‘Due time.’ Septuagint, ‘I will do it in the proper time’ (κατα καιρὸνkatakairon). The sense is, that this would be done at the proper time - called, inGalatians 4:4, ‘the fullness of time.’ There was a proper season when this was to be accomplished.
