The Treasures of Darkness

While reading the Bible, I got curious about this "treasures of darkness" mentioned in Isaiah 45:3.
I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel. (Isaiah 45:3, NKJV)
Reading some references, I was enlightened that the treasures mentioned here are not "dark treasures" but treasures that are hidden in the dark until they are found and brought to light.

Literally, treasures of darkness are the riches that no one has found yet. This could be diamonds, gold and silver which are yet to be found and discovered.

It may also be interpreted spiritually. One may not know he can preach the Word of God (with clarity and anointing) until the Lord Himself called him and give him the task. Same thing is true with the gifts of prophesying, interpretation of tongues, dreams, etc.

May God reveal your hidden treasures.
“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:29, NKJV)
