Jerusalem
Isa 62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
Looking to the future of Jerusalem. The LORD will not keep silent, nor rest, until righteousness and salvation come forth as brightness as a lamp that burns.
Isa 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Salvation and truth came by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Isa 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
Isa 60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
The Gentile church saw His righteousness and received salvation. At His second coming all kings shall see the glory coming to Jerusalem. In Isaiah 62:4 the new names for Jerusalem are given. The people of Zion shall have new names too. We are called Christians, but we shall have other names: The Bride of Christ, Saints, the Chosen, The Remnant are but a few names, but their are more. We shall personally be given a new name.
Rev 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Perhaps our name will describe our character or calling. Simon, John and James were given surnames by Jesus.
Mark 3:16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;
Mark 3:17 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
Isa 62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Speaking of Jerusalem; a crown of glory, a royal city in the hand of the LORD and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Jesus will return with a rod of iron to bring righteous judgment to Jerusalem.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Isa 62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
Jerusalem was desolate in the time of the Babylonian captivity; but looking forward Jerusalem shall be honored with new names.
Hephzibah: My delight is in her
Beulah; Married, the land is married to the Lord
The New Jerusalem will come down as a bride.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Isa 62:5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
In New Jerusalem
Isa 65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
Isa 62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence.
Watchmen that pray and hear from God, shall speak the word of God and not be silent. We who make mention of the LORD are to keep doing so. We are to be the light in a darkened world until Jesus returns in His glory.
Make mention: zachar; to remember, bring into mind, recollect; to mention, meditate upon, mark down, record, recall, and to retain in our thoughts. This is important that we continue to do this, and be not silent. The LORD is to be in our thoughts continuously and in our words.
Isa 62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Keep going until the Lord returns.
Isa 62:8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
Isa 62:9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
No longer will the enemy conquer you. You may enjoy the fruit of your labor.
Deu 14:23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
Psa 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Isa 62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
Isa 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Isa 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
Isa 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Isa 62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Mat 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
Isa 40:10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Isa 62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
The Holy city is not Rome. The Holy people, the redeemed of the LORD: shall be gathered in Jerusalem. Wherever Jesus is, we will be with him.
