Spain?

During the days of the Spanish conquest of the new world, many Spainards used this verse to apply to them spreading Christianity to the American continent. (Tarshish is Spain). Pesonally, I don't believe this is what this verse means-but what does it mean?


Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. Isaiah 60:9
