Isaiah 60

The chapter must have been fulfilled in Old Covenant times, because it mentions certain things which don't apply in the modern-day Church nor in heaven:

A distinguishing between Gentile and Jews (verses 2,3)

Ancient modes of transport - camels and dromedaries (verse 6)

Nations which existed then but don't now

God's altar in physical Jerusalem

The house (Temple)

City walls and gates

Surrounding kings (not Prime Ministers or Presidents)

And in the historical context of all of this having already been fulfilled, Messiah was to come (61:1).
