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.
2
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.
3
YOU WILL BE A CROWN OF SPLENDOR
IN
THE LORD'S HAND,
A
ROYAL DIADEM IN THE HAND OF YOUR GOD.
4
No longer will they call you Deserted,
Or
name your land Desolate.
But
you will be called Hephzibah
[My
delight is in her],
And
your land Beulah [married],
For
the Lord will take Delight in you,
And
your land will be Married.
5
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.
6
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
7
And give Him No Rest
Till
He Establishes Jerusalem
AND
MAKES HER THE PRAISE OF THE EARTH.
8
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;
9
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.'
10
Pass through the Gates!
Prepare
the Way for the people.
Build
up the Highway!
Remove
the stones
Raise
a Banner for the Nations.
11
THE LORD HAS MADE PROCLAMATION
TO
THE ENDS OF THE EARTH:
'Say
to the Daughter of Zion,
SEE,
YOUR SALVATION COMES!
SEE,
HIS REWARD IS WITH HIM,
AND
HIS RECOMPENSE ACCOMPANIES HIM.
12
THEY WILL BE CALLED THE HOLY PEOPLE,
THE
REDEEMED OF THE LORD;
AND
YOU WILL BE SOUGHT AFTER,
THE
CITY NO LONGER DESERTED.
(Isaiah
62)
Isaiah
has just describe the Bride of Christ
And
what God will do for her.
The
Bride will give herself No Rest,
And
she will give God No Rest,
Till
He Establishes Jerusalem
AND
MAKES HER THE PRAISE OF THE EARTH.
Listen
to the song, Sweet Beulah Land:
I'm
kind of homesick for a country
To which I've never been before.
No sad goodbyes will there be spoken
For time won't matter anymore.
To which I've never been before.
No sad goodbyes will there be spoken
For time won't matter anymore.
Beulah
Land (Beulah Land)
I'm
longing for you (I'm longing for you)
And some day (And some day) on thee I'll stand
And some day (And some day) on thee I'll stand
(Someday
we will stand)
There my home (There my home) shall be eternal (Eternal)
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
There my home (There my home) shall be eternal (Eternal)
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
I'm
looking now, just across the river
To where my faith, shall end in sight
To where my faith, shall end in sight
(Shall
end in sight)
There's just a few more days to labor.
Then I will take my heavenly flight.
There's just a few more days to labor.
Then I will take my heavenly flight.
