Isaiah 62:1,2 says, "For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. The Gentiles shall see your righteousness." Isaiah 62 is entitled "Future Of Jerusalem." As a result, people probably come to the conclusion that Isaiah 62 is about the physical city of Jerusalem. However, we believe the main theme of this chapter is still about the Israelites recognizing Jesus as their Messiah and Savior.
Please take note from Isaiah 62:1 saying "Jerusalem's righteousness will go forth and salvation will burn as a lamp." Righteousness and salvation cannot go forth or shine unless people spread them around the world. A person cannot be righteous unless their sins have been forgiven through accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Hallelujah!
Isaiah 62:1 also says "For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem 's sake I will not rest." "Hold My Peace" actually means I will not be silent. This verse is an encouragement and a calling from Jehovah God for all of us who love Israel to pray without ceasing for the salvation of the Jewish people worldwide. Isaiah 62:1 has been the theme verse of For Zion's Sake Ministry since it began in November of 2011. Bless His Holy Name!
Isaiah 62 is a powerful, interesting, challenging and uplifting chapter. The chapter starts by encouraging all people to pray for God's Covenant People; then says God's Covenant People will be missionaries and concludes by saying to God's Covenant people your salvation is in the future. One of our recent messages showed in Isaiah 55:9 "God's Ways Are Higher Than Our Ways."
In conclusion, Isaiah 62:11,12 says, "Indeed the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the world; say to the daughter of Zion, surely your salvation is coming . . . And they shall call them The Holy People, the Redeemed Of The Lord." These verses illustrate, without a doubt, salvation is coming to the Israelites and they will be called "Holy People" and "The Redeemed Of The Lord." Amen and Amen!
Blessings From Jehovah God This Day And Every Day,
