JERUSALEM. Isa. 62:6 a city with very active and vocal watchmen on her walls with a call to readiness. Calling on the Lord with unceasing prayer. v.7 Give Him no rest until he has completed His final act of preparing for Himself that perfect church without spot of wrinkle. Eph.5:25-27 The result of Godly love, is a bride who has been thoroughly washed and sanctified. One in whom, the living WORD has had a complete acceptance and is fully followed. This is the ultimate work of salvation in the earth and over the span of time. The Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus has made His Bride to be what He wants her to be. She has His spirit. She bears His likeness. She has the mind of Christ so they think alike. Their goals are one and the same. She has put on Christ as the wedding garment. She has received His name, the Lord Jesus Christ in the waters of baptism. She has filled her heart with the Word of God. His desires are hers. There can be found no discord whatsoever between this couple whose marriage is indeed HEAVENLY. She is filled with the Spirit.
A CRY, SEEKING ASSISTANCE. Isa. 51:9-10 An urgent call from Zion for a manifestation of the mighty arm of the Lord in deliverance. A recounting of the past exploits of the Lord in delivering the nation from Egypt. There is yet a deliverance to come. It is because of what Zion is facing that she is requesting the mighty arm of the Lord to be made bare in deliverance and victory.
THE GATHERING OF THE REDEEMED. Isa. 51:11 Those washed and redeemed by the blood of the Lamb are gathered together as Zion. It is a time of great joy, for they come with song. Their joy and rejoicing is everlasting, not momentarily nor for a season. Their portion is gladness and rejoicing. Sorrow and mourning are past away. No more will Zion feel the heartaches of this life. She has arrived at her appointed status in Christ Jesus. She has run her race and now will receive the prize.
