Context — Final Judgments against the Wicked
17“Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.
18“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.
19I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim My glory among the nations.
20And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.” 21“And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.Cross References

Isaiah 66:19 Summary
[Isaiah 66:19 is a promise from God that He will establish a sign among the nations and send survivors to proclaim His glory to all people, as seen in Psalm 96:3.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 66:19

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 66:19
It is on all hands agreed that this verse is a prophecy of the conversion of the Gentiles. I will set a sign: by sign here some understand an ensign, as the word signifies, , which is a military sign to gather people together; by this may be understood Christ, . See . Or, as others, the ministry of the word attended with miracles (often called signs); these were set up among the Jews first, then among the Gentiles. Others (but less probably) understand by sign a mark of distinction, like that mentioned ; so as, saith he, some shall escape and not be destroyed; and for those that shall escape, I will send them to Tarshish, Pul, Lud, Tubal, Javan, to Europe, Asia, and Africa, to all the quarters of the world, (see the Latin Synopsis, and the English Annotations, large discourses of these particular places,) to all nations that had never before heard of God or his true worship. And they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles; and they shall every where preach the gospel, and set up my gospel ordinances and institutions. This was eminently made good upon the apostles leaving the Jews, and turning to the Gentiles, , and more fully after the destruction of Jerusalem, when the believers among the Jews, as well as the apostles, went about publishing the gospel to all people, which was the declaring of the Lord’ s glory.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 66:19
Isaiah 66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.Ver. 19. And I will set a sign among them.] This sign may very well be that visible pouring out of the gifts of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost, under the symbol of wind and fire, together with the signs and wonders whereby the apostle’ s doctrine was confirmed. Others make this sign to be the profession of the Christian faith. Some also, the doctrine of the gospel, and especially the sacraments. And I will send those that escape of them,] i.e., The apostles and their fellow helpers, such as were Barnabas, Silas, Luke, &c. To Tarshish, Pul.] To all parts of the world, east, west, north, and south. That draw the bow.] The Mosches or Muscovites, say the Septuagint; the Turks, saith one of the Rabbis. Scultet.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 66:19
(19) I will set a sign among them . . .—The “sign” may be one of supernatural terror in the work of judgment, or, as the context makes more probable, of supernatural deliverance. The thought of a “remnant” to be saved is still characteristically dominant, and that “remnant” is to act as heralds of Jehovah to the far-distant nations who had not been sharers in any open antagonism to Israel, and who were, therefore, not involved in the great judgment. Of these the prophet names Tarshish, either definitely for Spain, or vaguely for the far west. Pul is not found elsewhere as the name of a nation, and stands probably for “Phut,” as in the LXX., found in common with “Lud” in Ezekiel 27:10; Ezekiel 30:5, and standing for an African people (Phint, or Phet) on the east coast of Northern Africa. Lud, joined with “Pul” here, in Ezekiel 27:10 with Phut, and with Ethiopia and Libya in Ezekiel 37:5, stands, in the judgment of most scholars, not for the Lydians of Asia Minor, but for an African nation, the Ludim of Gen 10:13 and Jeremiah 46:9, where they are named, as here, as famous for their skill as archers. On the other hand, Mr. Sayce (Cheyne, 2:287) identifies “Pul” with the Apuli of Italy and “Lud,” with the Lydian soldiers, by whose help Psammitichus made himself independent of Assyria. Tubal (comp. Ezekiel 27:13; Ezekiel 38:2-3; Ezekiel 39:1) points to the shores of the Black Sea and tribes of Scythian extraction. Javan (Ionia), Genesis 10:2, is here used widely for any Greek settlements, and points probably to those on the Black Sea, which, together with Tubal and Meshech, carried on an active slave-trade with Tyre (Ezekiel 27:3).
It completes the list of nations named as representing the far-off lands that had not before heard of the God of Israel, but were now to know Him through the preaching of the remnant.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 66:19
Verse 19. That draw the bow] I much suspect that the words משכי קשת moshechey kesheth, who draw the bow, are a corruption of the word משך meshek, Moschi, the name of a nation situated between the Euxine and Caspian seas; and properly joined with תבל tubal, the Tibareni. See Bochart, Phaleg. iii. 12. The Septuagint have μοσοχ, without any thing of the drawers of the bow: the word being once taken for a participle, the bow was added to make sense of it קשת kesheth, the bow, is omitted in a MS. and by the Septuagint. That have not heard my fame - "Who never heard my name"] For שמעי shimi, my fame, I read, with the Septuagint and Syriac, שמי shemi, my name.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 66:19
19. I will set a sign among them] i.e. perform a miracle (ch. Isaiah 7:11) that shall convince them of Jehovah’s divinity. I will send … them] I will send from them escaped ones, survivors (cf. Isaiah 45:20) of the judgement depicted in Isaiah 66:16. The purpose is to spread the tidings of Jehovah’s glory. to Tarshish … Javan] All these names are taken from the book of Ezekiel; see Isaiah 27:10; Isaiah 27:12 f., Isaiah 38:1, Isaiah 39:1. So Duhm, who thinks the whole line is a gloss. Tarshish = Tartessus; see on ch. Isaiah 2:16. A name Pul occurs nowhere else, and it is doubtless here a clerical error for Put (so LXX. Φούδ).
Phut and Lud are mentioned together in Jeremiah 46:9; Ezekiel 27:10; Ezekiel 30:5; and in Genesis 10:6; Genesis 10:13 both peoples are connected genealogically with Mizraim (Egypt). Probably therefore two African nations are denoted. that draw the bow] The bow is mentioned as the weapon of the Lydians (Lud) in Jeremiah 46:9. The LXX. reads Μόσοχ (Meshech). This is attractive, because of the resemblance to mτshμkκ (drawing), and because Meshech and Tubal are nearly always associated (Genesis 10:2; Ezekiel 27:13; Ezekiel 32:26, &c.). They are the Moschi and Tibareni of classical writers, the Muski and Tabal of the Assyrian monuments, tribes lying south and south-east of the Black Sea (Schrader, Cun. Inscr. pp. 82, 84). If the reading of the LXX. be adopted it will be necessary to find an equivalent for qιsheth (bow); and Duhm suggests Rosh from Ezekiel 38:1; Ezekiel 39:1 (see Davidson’s Note). Javan (= Ἰάϝων) the Ionians, is the Hebrew name for the Greek race. the isles (coastlands, ch. Isaiah 40:15) afar off, that have not heard my fame &c.] This distinction between the nearer nations who have experienced something of the greatness of Jehovah, through contact with His people Israel, and the remoter nations who have not heard His name, originates with the prophet Ezekiel. It underlies the conception of the invasion of Gog’s host and its destruction as described in ch. 38 f.
Gog is the leader and representative of the outlying nations of the earth, and the demonstration of Jehovah’s power against them falls at a time subsequent to the peaceful settlement of Israel in its own land, and long after judgement has been executed on the neighbouring states which had been in contact with Israel throughout its history (see Davidson, Camb. Bible, Ezekiel, pp. 273 ff.). But while the distinction is common to the two prophets, the development of the idea is strikingly different. In Ezekiel Gog’s ignorance of Jehovah tempts him to an act of sacrilege on the land of Israel, which is avenged by the annihilation of him and his host. The spirit of this passage is more evangelical. Jehovah sends missionaries from the nearer nations to those who have not heard His fame nor seen His glory; and the report carries conviction to their minds, so that they restore the Israelites exiled amongst them, as an offering to the Lord.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 66:19
And I will set a sign among them - (See the notes at Isaiah 11:12; Isaiah 18:3). On the meaning of the word ‘sign’ (אות 'ôth), see the notes at Isaiah 7:11. What is its meaning here is to be determined by the connection.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 66:19
19. The achievements just named, no doubt, are the conversion of so large a part of the Gentiles. I will set a sign — Not an “ensign,” (chap. Isaiah 11:12,) a rallying flag around which Gentiles are bidden to throng.
