Isaiah 62
1. The fervent desire of the prophet to confirm the church in God's promises.
6. The office of the ministers in preaching the Gospel
10. And preparing the people thereto














Give Him no rest
This phrase is a call to persistent prayer and intercession. The Hebrew root for "rest" is "דָּמָה" (damah), which can mean to be silent or still. The exhortation here is to continually bring petitions before God without ceasing. Historically, this reflects the Jewish practice of fervent prayer, especially during times of distress or need. It emphasizes the importance of perseverance in faith, trusting that God hears and responds to the cries of His people.

until He establishes
The word "establishes" comes from the Hebrew "כּוּן" (kun), meaning to set up, make firm, or prepare. This indicates a divine action where God is actively involved in bringing about His purposes. In the context of Jerusalem, it speaks to God's covenantal promises to Israel, ensuring that His plans for the city and His people will come to fruition. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty and faithfulness in fulfilling His promises.

Jerusalem
Jerusalem holds a central place in biblical history and prophecy. It is not only the physical city but also represents the spiritual heart of God's people. The city is often seen as a symbol of God's dwelling place and His relationship with Israel. Archaeologically, Jerusalem has been a focal point of numerous excavations, revealing its rich history and significance. Scripturally, it is the city where God chose to place His name, and it plays a pivotal role in eschatological prophecies.

and makes her the praise
The phrase "makes her the praise" suggests a transformation where Jerusalem becomes a source of admiration and honor. The Hebrew word for "praise" is "תְּהִלָּה" (tehillah), which denotes glory and renown. This transformation is not just physical but spiritual, where Jerusalem becomes a testament to God's glory and faithfulness. It reflects the prophetic vision of a restored and exalted city, drawing the nations to recognize the greatness of God.

of the earth
This phrase expands the scope of Jerusalem's significance to a global scale. It underscores the universal impact of God's work in Jerusalem, making it a beacon to all nations. Historically, Jerusalem has been a city of great interest and contention among various empires and peoples. In a prophetic sense, it points to the ultimate fulfillment of God's kingdom, where Jerusalem becomes central to His redemptive plan for the entire world. This aligns with the biblical narrative of God's desire for all nations to come to know Him through His chosen people and city.

Verse 7. - Give him no rest. Compare the teaching of our Lord with respect to the efficacy of importunity (Luke 11:5-8; Luke 18:1-8).
