Isaiah
62
For Zion's sake I
will not keep silent,
For Jerusalem's sake
I will not remain quiet,
Till her
righteousness shines out like the dawn,
Her salvation like a
blazing torch.
The
nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory;
You will be called
by a new name
That the mouth of
the Lord will bestow.
You will be a crown
of splendor in the Lord's hand,
A royal diadem in
the hand of your God.
No longer will they
call you Deserted, or your land Desolate.
But you will be
called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah,
For the Lord will
take delight in you,
And your land will
be married.
As a young man
marries a maiden, so will your sons marry you;
As a bridegroom
rejoices over his bride,
So will your God
rejoice over you.
I
have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They
will never be silent day or night.
You
who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest,
And
give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem
And
makes her the praise of the earth.
The Lord has sworn
by his right hand and by his mighty arm:
'Never again will I
give your grain as food for your enemies,
And never again will
foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled;
But those who
harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord,
And those who gather
the grapes will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.'
Pass through, pass
through the gates!
Prepare the way for
the people.
Build up, build up
the highway!
Remove the stones.
Raise a banner for
the nations.
The
Lord has made proclamation to the ends of the earth:
Say to the daughter
of Zion, 'See your Savior comes!
See, his reward is
with him, and his recompense accompanies him.'
They will be called
The Holy People, The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you will be
called Sought After,
The City No Longer
Deserted. (Isaiah 62 NIV)
For
Zion's sake, for the sake
of the Israel of God, for the sake of His Bride,
The Lord promises He
will never remain quiet
Until Her righteousness
shines out like the dawn,
Her salvation like a
blazing torch.
All the nations of the
world will see the righteousness and glory
Of The Bride of Christ.
She will be given a new
name by the Lord,
No longer Deserted but
My Delight and Married.
God will rejoice over
His Bride.
The Lord declares that
He has placed watchmen
On the walls of His
Church, who will never be silent day or night.
The people of God are
to give themselves no rest and to give God no rest,
Until the Lord makes
Jerusalem, the Israel of God,
The Church, the Bride of Christ, the praise of the
earth.
Never again will the
people of God be mistreated;
God is preparing a way
for them.
His reward is with Him.
The people of God will
be called The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the
Lord, Sought After, The City No Longer Deserted.
Today, the Lord is raising up His Bride to represent Him in His fullness,
In every nation of the face of the earth.
Her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
Her salvation like a blazing torch
And every nation a witness of her glory.
