Isaiah 66:23 and the Month

WM. CARTHY. The objection to rendering Isa. lxvi, 23, by new moon, is that it gives a pretext for connecting this prophecy with the new-moon festivals of the Hebrews, and so either cuts it off from applying to the future, or carries the type into the antitype. As the word means month, by so rendering it, all ground for the quibbling of our opponents is avoided. The tree of life yields its fruit every month, and it is doubtless for the purpose of partaking of this, that the nations of the saved come up to Jerusalem from month to month. But in what part of the month, this fruit matures, we are not told; we should think more naturally near its close than at its commencement.
