Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 62:1-12

The Reign of Solomon Isaiah 62:1 I. Solomon reigned over a great empire. The Jews were never masters of so wide an extent of land before or after as in his days. The king himself began his reign in a spirit which promised well for the coming time. He asked God neither for long life nor for riches, nor for victory over his enemies;; but for a wise and understanding heart to discern between good and bad, that he might be able to do true justice among so great a people; and immediately the wisdom... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 62:1-12

CHAPTER 62 Zion’s Glory 1. He will not rest (Isaiah 62:1 ) 2. The new names (Isaiah 62:2-5 ) 3. The intercession and the answer (Isaiah 62:6-9 ) 4. The accomplishment at hand (Isaiah 62:10-12 ) The intercession in the beginning of the chapter is that of Christ. He will not rest till He has accomplished His purpose in His earthly people and in Zion. When it is accomplished Gentiles and kings will witness it. Zion then shall be called by a new name. The forsaken one will no longer be... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

MEETING OF THE AGES We are drawing to the end of the present, and the opening of the Millennial age. The prophet’s eye rests on the time when Israel is back in her land, the majority still unconverted to Christ and worshiping in a restored temple. There is a faithful remnant waiting for Him, though enduring the persecution of the false christ. This persecution may often be felt at the hands of their own brethren after the flesh. These facts must be assumed in the interpretation of these... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 62:10-12

The gospel way is a high way, and was all along to be so marked; and the Lord promised that it should be so plain, that the way faring men, though fools, should not err therein; Isaiah 35:8 . And the character of the Lord's people was also as plainly sketched. They were to be a peculiar people; a people that should dwell alone, and not be reckoned among the nations. Jesus undertook to search them out, in all places, whither they had been driven, in the cloudy and dark day. Reader! it will be... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:10-12

10-12 Way shall be made for Christ's salvation; all difficulties shall be removed. He brings a reward of comfort and peace with him; but a work of humiliation and reformation before him; and they shall be called, The holy people, and, The redeemed of the Lord. Holiness puts honour and beauty upon any place or person, makes them admired, beloved, and sought after. Many events may have been part fulfilments of this, as earnests of more glorious times yet to come. The close connexion between the... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 62:1-12

Zion the Bride of Jehovah. The prophecy concerning the glory of Zion's perfection here reaches the highest point of exaltation: the congregation of the redeemed as the bride and spouse of the Lord. v. 1. For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, so the Lord calls out through His prophet, in His eagerness to picture the glory which would pertain to Zion in the new dispensation, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, He will not feel satisfied, He will not abate in His zeal, until the... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

the Land of Beulah Isaiah 62:1-12 The Intercessor , Isaiah 62:1-4 . Messiah is speaking here. Throughout the ages, He ever lives to make intercession. He asks that His Church may be one, that the heathen may be given Him for His inheritance, and that Israel may be restored. It is the cry of the unresting Savior. When Jesus pleads for thee, poor soul, thou canst not be desolate and forsaken. God loves, though all hate; God delights, though all abhor; God remains, though all forsake. ... read more
