Isaiah 60:22
I Will Hasten It in His Time
Isaiah 60:22 promises that God can multiply the small and the weak — "a little one shall become a thousand" — and that He will bring His promises to pass at the right moment: "I the LORD will hasten it in his time."
Isaiah 60:22 (KJV)
“A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.”
What Isaiah 60:22 means
"A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation." The verse speaks to anyone who feels too small or too few — God specializes in multiplying what looks insignificant into something great.
Its final phrase holds two truths together: "I the LORD will hasten it in his time." God will act swiftly, yet in His timing, not ours. It is a favourite verse for waiting seasons and for trusting that God's promises arrive right on time.
