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, and all kings your glory."
At the beginning of Isaiah 62, we learned of Isaiah proclaiming he will not be silent until Jerusalem's righteousness goes forth throughout the world resulting in the Kings of the earth seeing her glory! What exactly is Isaiah saying? He is proclaiming that he will CONTINUALLY be a witness for Jehovah God proclaiming Jerusalem as the City of God. Isaiah believes this is a fulltime "calling" from God. Psalm 122:6 confirms this by saying "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem."
Additionally, Isaiah 60:1-4 says, "Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes all around and see; they all gather together, they come to you." The Glory of God will shine as a light over Jerusalem and the Gentiles and the Kings of the world will be drawn to this light and will come to Jerusalem. Also, the darkness that covered the earth will be gone covered over by the brightness of God's Glory. Bless His Holy Name!
When will this take place? Most prophetic scholars believe God's Glory and Righteousness will shine forth during the One Thousand Year Reign of Jesus Christ from Jerusalem. Please also notice that the wealth of the Gentiles will be brought to Jerusalem as mentioned in Isaiah 60:5,9,11.
What A Mighty God We Serve!
What A Mighty God We Serve!
Angels Bow Before Him
Heaven And Earth Adore Him
What A Mighty God We Serve!
Yes, Jerusalem was the City of God in the past; is the City of God now and will be the City of God in the future and for all Eternity! Hallelujah!
Blessed New Year,
