Isaiah 62For Zion's sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not be silent, until her righteousness shines like the dawn, her salvation like a burning torch. The nations will see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory; you will be called with a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give you. You will be a splendid crown in the hands of the Lord, a royal diadem in the hands of your God. They will no longer call you Desert, nor will they call your street Desolate. But you shall be called Hephzibah (my beloved in her), and your land Beulah; for the Lord will be pleased with you, and your land will have a husband. As a young man marries a maiden, so shall your sons marry you; as the groom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, do not rest, nor give him rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it the praise of the land. The Lord has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm. Never again will I give your grain to your enemies, and never again will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have labored; but those who gather the grapes will eat it and praise the Lord, and those who gather the grapes will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary. Go through though, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build, build the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations. The Lord has announced to the ends of the earth: «Tell the daughter of Zion: behold, your savior comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his reward goes with him." They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Wanted, the city no longer deserted. Verse one: For Zion's sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness shines like the dawn, her salvation like a burning torch. he can no longer conform to the world. We have to raise our voice. Because God is coming very soon and He needs His people to be prepared.
