ZION, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

 

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.

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

(Someday we will stand)
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

(Shall end in sight)
There's just a few more days to labor.
Then I will take my heavenly flight.
